Routes and Tracks) is saved in the common .gpx file format. MFD settings will be saved in .lh3 format.
The Import/export page can be accessed from the My data page:

Saving user data (My data)
You can backup your user data (waypoints, routes and tracks) to a MicroSD card.
Note:
The LightHouse™ 3 operating system allows multiple waypoints to be created with the same
waypoint name. If you intend to import the saved waypoints to a different system ensure that all
waypoint names are unique or that the system you are importing them onto supports non-unique
waypoint names.
Example: If more than 1 waypoint with the same waypoint name is imported into a LightHouse™ 2
MFD only 1 waypoint with that waypoint name will be imported as the LightHouse™ 2 operating
system requires waypoint names to be unique.
