Backing up and Importing user data
There are two files that can be backed up that relate to user
changes made to the system:
• Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks database.
• Settings database (includes preferences such as unit settings,
custom pages, and CZone configuration files).
Insert a memory card into the unit's card reader as a storage
location for backup data.
Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks database backup
You can export all Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks, or export only
those contained within a specific region.
If Export Region is selected, the chart page will be displayed,
centered on vessel location. Using the touch screen, adjust the red
boundary box to outline the area to be exported. The export option
offers different file formats to save as:
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 includes such information as
the time and date when a route was created.
User Data File version 4
•
This is best used when transferring data from one 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 one system to a
legacy product (Lowrance LMS, LCX).
User data file version 2 (no depth)
•
Can be used when transferring user data from one system to a
legacy product (Lowrance LMS, LCX).
GPX (GPS Exchange, no depth)
•
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 competitor's unit.
Northstar.dat (no Tracks)
•
Used to transfer data to a legacy Northstar device.
