UTERHow to load fishing spots on a Raymarine fish finder
Fish Scouter works with Raymarine units via an SD card or Navionics. Your saved spots go out as one standard GPX waypoint file, with short plain names, the kind of spot and its depth.
From your phone
- In Fish Scouter open You → Spots → My spots and tap Send to my fish finder. Choose Raymarine.
- Pick Navionics Boating in the share sheet, then move the spots to the display with Plotter Sync.
With a memory card
- Copy the .gpx file to a microSD card.
- Import it from the card on the display — the menu differs by LightHouse version, so check your unit's manual.

Questions anglers ask
Can I put Fish Scouter spots on my Raymarine?
Yes. Fish Scouter writes a standard GPX 1.1 waypoint file, which works with Raymarine units via an SD card or Navionics.
Will my spot names fit?
Fish Scouter cuts names to 15 characters in plain letters and numbers, and numbers any that match ("Bull Bay Reef 2"). That's a safe length, not a limit Raymarine publishes, so your unit may take longer names.
Does the depth come across?
Each spot's depth is written in its description, because not every unit reads depth from a GPX file.
Which plans include it?
Sending spots to your fish finder comes with the Captain and Guide plans. Your spots stay private either way.
