6. DATA TRANSFER
This chapter provides information for saving and replaying data to and from
memory cards, uploading and downloading data, loading waypoint data from
Yeoman, and outputting data through the network.
Note: The data transfer function is not available for the optional memory card
interface unit CU-200.
6.1 Memory Card Operations
The memory cards store these data: marks, lines, waypoints, routes, track, and
setting data.
6.1.1 Formatting memory cards
Before you can use a memory card it must be formatted. This prepares the card
for use with the system. Note that formatting a memory card erases all data from
the card.
1. Insert a blank memory card into the card slot.
2. Press the [MENU] key followed by the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION, DATA
TRANSFER, UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD DATA and SAVE DATA TO MEMORY
CARD soft keys to show the SAVE DATA menu.
