To make a screen snapshot (Screen Snapshot must be enabled):
1. Make sure you have installed an optional-purchase MMC/SD card into your card slot.
2. From any view you want to capture, press the MARK key. When you start a screen
capture, you will see a message that a waypoint has been created at the point where
your cursor is on the screen, and the screen will freeze. A status dialog box will appear
that shows the progress of the save, and that displays the numbered filename assigned
to the .BMP file that is being created, along with the percentage completed status.
NOTE:
For more information, see
Snapshot and Recording View and Snapshot and Recording
X-Press™ Menu
.
NOTE
: Navigation is not affected by the Screen Snapshot feature. Also, if Screen Snapshot is
enabled but there is no GPS receiver connected, pressing the MARK key will capture the screen
image and display an error saying that a GPS position fix is required to create a waypoint.
NOTE
: The speed of the capture depends on the type of card you use; in general, SD cards capture
the screen faster than MMC cards do.
To view screen snapshots:
1. Make sure that the optional-purchase MMC/SD card used to capture the screens is
installed in your card slot.
2. Press the VIEW key until you see the Screen Snapshot View.
3. The Screen Snapshot View displays up to three thumbnails of these screen captures at a
time. You can scroll through the whole list of thumbnails of screen captures in this view
using the 4-WAY Cursor keys. The selected thumbnail will be highlighted with arrows.
See the full-sized image by selecting a thumbnail (using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor
keys), then using the Right 4-Way Cursor key to view the full image. A border around the
full-size screen capture indicates that it is just a screen capture, not a “live” view. You can
delete the selected image, or all captured images, using Delete Image or Delete All
Images from the Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu. (See
Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu:
Delete Image
and
Delete All Images
for more information).
NOTE:
When you highlight a snapshot thumbnail, the amount of room remaining on the SD card
will be displayed.
NOTE:
The waypoints that are created by a snapshot have the same name as the file and use a
custom waypoint icon. Snapshot filenames begin with the letter "S".
NOTE
: You may view data files associated with each screen snapshot by removing the MMC/SD
card from your unit and installing it in your optional-purchase MMC/SD card reader connected
to a PC. Use Windows Explorer to see the contents of your MMC/SD card; you will notice that
a .DAT (may show up as .TXT) file is created for every .BMP screen capture; this data file includes
the thumbnail view, and is required in order to be able to view the screen snapshot from your
700 Series
TM
unit, so don’t delete these files.
