Using Screen Snapshot
Screen Snapshot activates the screen snapshot
function. When Screen Snapshot is enabled, pressing the MARK key creates a saved
screen capture on the optional-purchase MMC/SD card installed in your unit's card slot.
All menus, dialog boxes, warnings and messages are captured and saved automatically.
You can view these captures on the Screen Snapshot View, which shows thumbnails of
the screen captures, three at a time.
NOTE: You must have an optional-purchase MMC/SD card installed for the screen snapshot
feature to work.
To turn Screen Snapshot on or off:
1. Highlight Screen Snapshot on the Accessories main menu.
2. Use the LEFT or RIGHT 4-WAY Cursor Control keys to turn Screen Snapshot On or
Off (Off, On, Default = Off).
To make a screen snapshot (Screen Snapshot must be enabled):
1. Make sure you have installed an optional-purchase MMC/SD card into your
card slot.
2. From any view you want to capture, press the MARK key. When you start a
screen capture, you will see a message that a waypoint has been created at the
point where your cursor is on the screen, and the screen will freeze. A status
dialog box will appear that shows the progress of the save, and that displays the
numbered filename assigned to the .BMP file that is being created, along with
the percentage completed status.
NOTE: Navigation is not affected by the Screen Snapshot feature. Also, if Screen Sanpshot is
enabled but there is no GPS receiver connected, pressing the MARK key will capture the screen
image and display an error saying that a GPS position fix is required to create a waypoint.
NOTE: The speed of the capture depends on the type of card you use; in general, SD cards
capture the screen faster than MMC cards do.

To view screen snapshots:
1. Make sure that the optional-purchase MMC/SD card used to capture the
screens is installed in your card slot.
2. Press the VIEW key until you see the Screen Snapshot View.
3. The Screen Snapshot View displays up to three thumbnails of these screen
captures at a time. You can scroll through the whole list of thumbnails of screen
captures in this view using the 4-WAY Cursor keys. The selected thumbnail will
be highlighted with arrows. See the full-sized image by selecting a thumbnail
(using the Up or Down 4-Way Cursor keys), then using the Right 4-Way Cursor
key to view the full image. A border around the full-size screen capture indicates
that it is just a screen capture, not a "live" view. You can delete the selected
image, or all captured images, using Delete Image or Delete All Images from the
Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu. (See Screen Snapshot X-Press™ menu: Delete
Image and Delete All Images for more information).
NOTE: You may view data files associated with each screen snapshot by removing the
MMC/SD card from your unit and installing it in your optional-purchase MMC/SD card reader
connected to a PC. Use Windows Explorer to see the contents of your MMC/SD card; you will
notice that a .DAT (may show up as .TXT) file is created for every .BMP screen capture; this
data file includes the thumbnail view, and is required in order to be able to view the screen
snapshot from your 700 series unit, so don't delete these files.
