Is there a way to create waypoints (locations) and download to Epix Pro?

Option 1: Garmin Explore phone app (IOS/Android) & web)

Option 2: Garmin Basecamp PC/Mac based program.  Need to have watched attached to computer via USB. 

Option 3: ?

Explore was incredibly useful. Not only does it allow me to create waypoints, I was able to transfer years of locations I had from my Garmin 700i.  

And because it was so useful, it forced me do do some housekeeping to clean things up and organize into categories.

I now have the 700i, 7XPro Sapphire Solar, and the Epix Pro Sapphire. Hard to make a decision on which of the watches I liked best. so I kept them both.  My wife can use the one I'm not using, when she is out in the woods mushroom hunting.  She's 81 and never gets lost. But there is always a first time.  Now I have motivation to figure out how all these work.

Side note: I got the 700i because I was on a trip with my two grandkids, and was in the boondocks for over a day with no cell service. My daughter freaked out, thinking we must have been in an accident. She called hotels and hospitals trying to find us. She even called the State Police to be on the lookout for us.

I vowed I'd never let that happen again so I got the 700i, which doesn't rely on cell coverage. Now she can track me and even communicate, outside of cell coverage.

Rule of thumb: can't have too much GPS.

I'm lucky to have both as well.  I'll use one or the other depending on the conditions of my activity.  I have an Mini2 for the same reason you have the 700i.  I occasionally will hike or Mountain Bike in areas w/o cell coverage.  Nice piece of mind.
