Backing up your system data
Waypoints, Routes, and Trails that you create are filed in your
system. It is recommended to regularly copy these files and your
system settings files as part of your back-up routine. The files can be
copied to a card inserted in the card reader.
There are no export file format options for the system settings file.
The following output formats are available for exporting Waypoints,
Routes, and Trails files:
User Data File version 5 This is used to import and
export waypoints and routes
with a standardized universally
unique identifier (UUID), which
is very reliable and easy to use.
The data includes such
information as the time and
date when a route was created,
and so on.
User Data File version 4 This is best used when
transferring data from one
system to another, since it
contains all the extra bits of
information these systems store
about items.
User Data file version 3 (w/
depth) Should be used when
transferring user data from an
HDS system to a legacy
Lowrance (LMS, LCX, etc.)
User data file version 2 (no
depth) Can be used when transferring
user data from an HDS system
to a legacy Lowrance (LMS, LCX,
etc.)
GPX (GPS Exchange, no depth) This is the format most used on
the web that shares among
most GPS systems.
