Backing up your system data

Waypoints, routes, tracks that you create are filed in your system. It is recommended to
regularly copy these files and your system settings files as part of your back-up routine.
The files can be copied to an SD card inserted in the card slot on the front of the unit.

Different output formats are available:

User Data File version 5

This is used to import and export waypoints and
routes with a standardized universally unique
identifier (UUID), which is very reliable and easy to use.
The data includeds such information as the time and
date when a route was created etc.

User Data File version 4

This is best used when transferring data from one NS*
system to another, since it contains all the extra bits of
information these systems store about items.

User Data file version 3 (w/depth)

Should be used when transferring user data from an
NS* system to a legacy Lowrance ( LMS, LCX, etc )

User data file version 2 (no depth)
GPX (GPS Exchange)

This is the format most used on the web that shares
among most GPS systems in the world. Use this
format if you are taking data to a competitors unit.

Northstar.dat (no Tracks)

Used to transfer data to a legacy Northstar device.
