Pardon the ignorance, I haven't shopped for a fishfinder / sonar in almost 20 yrs.

How do I know if a particular model of FF can upload .GPX files? Or is that going to be standard these days?

(We have these no-fishing protected areas here on the CA coast, and folks have plotted them out in shared .GPX files I'd like to take advantage of)

So it looks like any FF that has an SD card slot will do it.

Is that right? That's the kind of answer I want, but the Google search does not necessarily provide such a succinct answer.
(Could be common knowledge...but not to me)

Not all brands use a .gpx file format.
there are programs out there that is not expensive that can convert formats on a majority of different manufacturers.
I use Seamarks from Andren, but just do a google a google search and see what is out there
