NOTE:
• The GPS Logger function requires a microSD card
(User supplied).
• Once the GPS Logger function is turned ON, the
transceiver continuously saves position data from
the GPS receiver, even if the transceiver is turned
OFF, then ON again. To cancel this function, turn
OFF the function. While this function is ON, and
when the transceiver is turned OFF, the log file will
be closed. Then the transceiver is turned ON and
Positioning is carried out by the GPS receiver, a
new log file will be created.
• When the microSD card is full, this function is
automatically paused.
TIP: Using the <<GPS Logger Only>> mode
The transceiver has the exclusive GPS Logger
mode where only the GPS Logger functions.
This mode is useful when you are traveling and do
not want to use the transceiver for communication,
but you do want to use just the GPS Logger.
