- Is the SD DOS-Formated?</blockquote><div>Yes, it's a FAT16 file system. Tracks are logged to a file named ccyymmdd_hhmmss.TXT in a top level directory named GPS_DATA. A new track file is started each time the unit is switched on. You can optionally set it to start a new file each time it reaches either 512k, 1034k or 2048k.

You can download the 8k of trackpoints (that can be stored in main memory) via USB. I don't think there is a way to access the contents of the SD card via the USB port. There is, I think, a way of reading the track logs in real time from the USB port, but I have not tried that (there is a setting called INTERFACE that has the following options: NMEA, RTCM, BINARY if that means anything to you).

Yes, that is a standard accessory, included in the price. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">- Where did you buy it? At Storage Depot?

> Tracks 1 with max. 8192 waypoints<br> Is that without a SD card installed?</blockquote><div><br>Yes, the 8k trackpoints are stored in the unit's onboard memory.<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
