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 includeds such information as the time
and date when a route was created etc.
This is best used when transferring data from one
NS* system to another, since it contains all the extra
bits of information these systems store about items.
