There are a few things that need to be done before you can view any data. The major sections don't
need to be carried out in the order below but they do need to be done. The list is not so much an
instruction sheet, more of a list of bullet points and links to where more information can be found.

1.
Trim the data stream, there is always more data (unless your very careful) than is
useful and informative. This data is collected by your GTrek after it's been switched
on but before your journey starts and after it's finished but before you switch it off.
Use the Trim function here.
2.
Inspect the data, view the altitude and speed.
3.
Export to Google Earth Tour or Google Earth.
4.
Save your data for future use.
