Backing up to Sd card
« on: January 05, 2013, 11:16:22 AM »
I have an 898 and can't find a years worth of waypoints on my SD card. The points do come up on my unit while I'm fishing. I thought that every time you mark a point it automatically was stored to the SD card.
I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

I thought that the information was stored on the unit and "exported" to the sd card by menu selection..I think a snapshot is written to the card but waypoints, nav data has to be exported..

New waypoints are written to the unit, not the card. You have to export if you want a backup

These guys are correct:
Waypoints, Routes and Tracks are internal in the unit unless you Export a copy of them to the memory card.
Screen Snapshots and Sonar Recordings are only written to the memory card.

And Customers could lose all of those valuable waypoints when their memory cards failed…

Which is why we backup computer data. HB is a computer and needs to be given the same respect as your laptop.

We are well beyond nuts and bolts today for the most part..
