9.4 File Management


The ECU's map information is stored as a file on disk. You may think of these files as books
in library, where the filename is the title of the book. So that the books do not become
difficult to find as your library grows, there are a few features that help you to organise your
files.

Up and Down Arrows to select the map you wish to erase, or else type in the name of the
map, then press return (

to abort.


It is a good idea to erase old maps as soon as they become obsolete. This is particularly true if
you are trying to build a library of maps. It can become difficult to remember later which
maps are current and which are obsolete.

9.4.2 Changing Directories


If files can be likened to books in the library, then directories are analogous to names on the
shelves. Directories can be used to group related files together.

To change directories when loading, saving or erasing maps, press

Down arrows, and pressing Return. Directories can exist within other directories, so you may

change several times before reaching the directory you seek. Once you have found it, hit
