Have you got the Garmin vision g2 loaded into Homeport or are you just using the background chart?

Yes if it's on a card. Put the card into your PC & point Homeport to it. The chart will load into Homeport & display as if it was on the plotter. You can create waypoints, routes etc & transfer them to your plotter, that's the whole point of Homeport 👍
