Topic: How Do You Save Data from SD Memory Card ?

[iowafuzz]

I have looked and googled and can't find anything on how and where to save material from my SD card.  Went out a couple days ago and played with recording images.  Everything went great.  Downloaded Hum Viewer on my PC and was able to view the recordings I took without a problem.  Now the Problem - How do I save these recordings to my PC so I can delete them from the card?  Can't find how to do this.  Can someone point me in the right direction?

thanks, iowafuzz

I THINK you can copy and paste off the card itself... But PLEASE don't Take my word for it, Iam am computer dumbliterite....
curious myself if there is a proper way to do it... which i'm sure there is....

It is a simple computer process as with any data.

Here is what i suggest:
1) create a file on your computer (something you can identify with like Sonar Recordings.
2) then make a sub file called (use date) or (lake name) or however you want to identify the recording
3) copy the sd card over to the file you created.

iowa.  we use a 2g card and that holds a lot of 30 minutes recordings.

During the day if we are on the water all day we will make 5 or 6 recordings and then copy them to the laptop, delete the data on card and start the next reecordings.

I see you have it all figured out now.
Good Job.

Chuck,

I'm using a 4G card.  How long will that size record?

thanks, iowafuzz

Probably a lifetime?   

It will depend on the recordings and if any snapshots or waypoints you send to it..
Generally speaking, you should be fine for a days run.
There are some post on the forum dealing with projected times.
You can use thew search tab at the top to find them.
