'Archive All Projects' 

(Hidden when Simple) 

 

Pressing the 'Archive' button to the right of the Base Project 
Folder entry will backup every occupation in every project to 
a single ZIP file. 

This is handy if you want to move all of your data to another 
computer or make regular disaster recovery backups. 

There are similar Archive buttons on the main page: one 
archives the current occupation and the other archives the 
entire current project. 

The download tool does not provide a method to restore 
these backups, however they are standard ZIP files and the 
Windows operating system does include a tool to 
decompress them. 

'GPS Mounts on Drive' 

 

This is the drive letter that the GPS receiver was last found 
on. Don't worry if the drive letter changes, the program will 
automatically find the receiver when you download data. 

If you want to verify that the GPS receiver is connected and 
has successfully mounted as a drive, press 'Find GPS'. 

Note: If you manually delete every single file and folder 
on the GPS receiver, the program won't be able to 
automatically find the receiver until after the GPS has 
recorded at least one file.  

‘Update GPS Model’ 

(Shown only when Advanced selected.) 

 

The GPS Model is written into the receiver at the factory. If 
you delete ALL of the files on the receiver or format the
