File Management - DeLorme Earthmate PN-60 GPS User Manual

File Management

Waypoints (including geocaches) and tracks are managed on the PN-60 using GPX (GPS Exchange Format) files.
A GPX file can store location, elevation, and time information and is used to transfer data between your PN-60 and your
computer. GPX files can be saved to the PN-60's internal drive or on an SD card in the device.
Tip On the Waypoints, Geocaches, Tracks, and Profile 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 on the PN-60
When you save a track, a GPX file is created.
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.
