As of October 1, 2023 we no longer support the Contour Elite product.
The contents featured in the article below may still be of use to you however, and so will continue to be available.
If you get an error when importing a .usr file from your Lowrance GPS unit, into the Contour Elite program it is possible that the .usr file is version 3 or higher. When saving your GPS data on your unit, select version 2.
It is also possible that one or more of your waypoints has a space or unusual character such as a comma. Going into your unit and removing the spaces or unusual characters from the waypoint name(s) may fix the problem.
