Icom ID-52A Manual

The GPS Logger function enables you to save the location data from a GPS receiver onto a microSD card as a log.
The GPS Logger saves Latitude, Longitude, Altitude, Positioning state, Course, Speed, Date, and Time.
If you use this GPS Logger while traveling, you can check your trip history on a mapping software.
D-STAR (Digital Smart Technology for Amateur Radio) is a digital radio protocol developed by JARL (Japan
Amateur Radio League).
About the log file
If you have the log file imported to a mapping software, you can display your route as you move on the software map.
L The log files may not be compatible with all mapping software.
L This manual explains how to use the GPS Logger using ID-52A/ID-52E as an example.
NOTE:
• The GPS Logger function requires a microSD card (User supplied).
• Once the GPS Logger function is turned ON, the transceiver continuously saves position data from the GPS receiver,
even if the transceiver is turned OFF, then ON again. To cancel this function, turn OFF the function. While this function is
ON, and when the transceiver is turned OFF, the log file will be closed. Then the transceiver is turned ON, and the GPS
receiver carries out positioning, a new log file will be created.
• When the microSD card is full, this function is automatically paused.
