Reference
There are utilities built into the Meridian to assist you in using an optional
Secure Digital memory card.
To access the Card Utilities, press [MENU] from any screen and highlight “Card
Utilities”. Press [ENTER].
Save Waypoints and Routes to Memory Card - After accessing the “Card
Utilities menu, highlight “Save WP/Route” and press [ENTER]. Use the
keyboard to enter a name for the saved waypoints and routes. Filenames are
limited to 8 characters. Highlight “OK” and press [ENTER] when done.
This will place all of your waypoints and routes on the SD card you have inserted
in your Meridian. These waypoints and routes are not erased from your
Meridian, only stored on the memory card for use later.
Save Track - After accessing the Card Utilities menu, highlight “Save Track” and
press [ENTER]. Use the keyboard to enter a name for the saved track.
Filenames are limited to 8 characters. Highlight “OK” and press [ENTER] when
done.

Utilities menu, highlight “Load WP/Route” and press [ENTER]. A list of saved
waypoints and routes is displayed using the filenames that you provided when
saving the waypoints and routes. Highlight the desired filename and press
[ENTER].

waypoints and the loaded ones will be added. There are two exceptions.
Existing waypoints with the same name as one being loaded will be
overwritten. Also, once the limit of 500 waypoints in memory is reached,
the loading of waypoints will stop.
Loading of routes is a little trickier and requires some planning, otherwise
you may get some unexpected results. Routes are uploaded to the same
route number that they had when they were saved and will overwrite any
route occupying that route number. If you go to your route list, you will
