Saving a GPS Data File
GPS Data Files can contain any combination of GPS information,
including waypoints, event marker icons, routes and trails. MapCreate
and your GPS unit store all their GPS data in the same file format, so
it's easy to move this information back and forth. Here's how: (Refer as
