3.10 USER C-CARD
The chart plotter allows to back up Marks, Routes and Tracks to a User C-CARD.
You can also restore the data to internal memory at a later time. This allows
virtually unlimited storage. The User C-CARD data storage is organized as a file
system.

When a certain type of data (Mark, Route, Track) is saved, a new file is created on
a User C-CARD. The file contains all points of the selected type currently stored in
the internal memory.
♦
Save Marks : creates a new file containing all Marks stored in the chart plotter
♦
Save Route : creates a new file containing all Waypoints belonging to the
selected Route (Route number is required)
♦
Save Track : creates a new file containing all Track points belonging to the
selected Track (Track number is required)
NOTE When naming a file, you may have trouble finding a name that uniquely identifies
the file's contents. Dates, for example, are often used in filenames; however,
they take up several characters, leaving you with little flexibility. The secret is
to find a compromise, a point where you can combine a date with a word, creating
a unique filename. The maximum length of the filename is 8 characters. The
characters may be numbers (0, ..., 9), letters (A, ..., Z) and spaces (for example
legal identifiers are "ABC", "AA", "12121212", "A B C", "1 A 1", and so on.
