File Management
Waypoints (including geocaches) and tracks are managed
using GPX—or GPS Exchange Format—files. A GPX file
stores location, elevation, and time information and is
used to transfer data between your PN-Series GPS and
your computer. GPX files can be saved to an SD card
that you put in the device.
Tip On the Waypoints, Geocaches, and Tracks pages, press
MENU and select File to view the available file management
options. For more information about the options available on
each page, see that section of the manual.
Creating a New GPX File
 When you save a track, a GPX file is created
automatically.
 When you mark a waypoint or geocache, if a waypoint
file is open, the new waypoint is saved to the open
file. If a waypoint file is not open, a new file is created.

America™ 9.0, you can quickly send GPX files from

you can send files back to the desktop to keep all your
data in sync.
