Software like Homeport but forSimrad

Hi all
I just sold my Osprey Viper rib and purchased a Narwhal instead. On the Viper, I had mounted a Garmin Echomap 420 and frequently used Garmin Homeport to manage waypoints, plan tours and so on - for the Narwhal, I have purchased a Simrad Go7 and therefore searching for a similar tool for planning - does such a tool exist?
There is something called Genesis insight, but it doesn´t seem to the same, as it creates maps based on scans instead.

I primarily use my boat for diving, and I have a lot of wreck positions on my Garmin and I would like to be able to have these transferred to my Simrad - any advice?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

If you have Navionics, there’s Yachtplanner. You copy the charts to your PC, do all your planning & copy it to a card.

This is the one I have. Works well & allows you to view your charts on your PC.
