ALL SI Models - Save all navigation data as one file (.gpx)
« on: September 08, 2012, 04:21:13 PM »
Model: 
ALL SI Models
Suggested Upgrade: 
Save all navigation data as one file (.gpx)
Explanation: 
Saving all navigation information as one file would eliminate having a separate waypoint file along with separate trail files for every trail that has been saved. This would make it easier to have multiple files for different lakes on a SD card to be selectable as to which one to load.

It would also be good to allow naming of files when saving and keeping those names when going from units to Humminbird PC and back to units. Using the .gpx file extension for both units and Humminbird PC would make it easier yet.

Too much bother keeping track of which file is which with just DATA.hwr and 000.ht, 001.ht when you cannot name files when saving or transferring files back and forth between units and PC. Maintaining the name should be a priority. Editing the names in Humminbird PC to know what lake they are for and then have the names changed to DATA and 000 when uploading to the SD card makes it a pain to know what you have on a SD card and are loading into a unit.

We really need a way to store more than one lake on an SD card and choose which lake we want to load.
