About the Format Card
option:
We recommend you
format all new SD
cards or SD cards used
previously in other soft-
ware applications.
Some SD cards are
configured with non-
standard file formats.
This can make the
cards unreadable.
Card Utilities
This option allows you to access the following functions:
-
Save WP/Route
: Allows you to save the waypoints and
routes you create with the handheld during your field oper-
ations. When using this function, you save your waypoints
and routes in a separate file of the MMW type. For the
sake of clarity, please use the “MMW” extension when
naming this file.
You can then download this file to your office computer
using the MobileMapper Transfer utility and then import it
into the open job, in MobileMapper Office, using the
File>Import
function.
-
Load WP/Route
: Allows you to choose the waypoint file (an
MMW file) you wish to display on the Map screen. MMW
files are created on the handheld when you upload jobs in
which waypoints (and routes) have been defined.
-
Format Card
: This command allows you to format a blank
SD card or reformat an already used SD card. When
selecting this function, a message warns you that this
operation will delete all the data contained on the SD
card. Select
Yes
to confirm this choice or
No
to escape.
-
Test Card
: Gives information on the SD card installed in the
handheld (format, size, status, number of files, bad clus-
ters, free memory space). A Scan button is also available
to let you scan the SD card in search of bad clusters (this
operation takes a while...).
