Sibilant Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 I have a Legend running software v. 2.38. I want to upload to the new 3.20, but the site said all my data would be erased and I should backup. How do I backup the data? Quote
+PDOP's Posted April 6, 2003 Posted April 6, 2003 You can use a free program like GPS Trackmaker and download all the data from your GPSr before you do the update. If you lose anything then you can upload it from the Trackmaker file afterwards. PDOP's GPS Pages Quote

The upgrade will not touch any maps loaded to the unit, but will delete all of your waypoint and track-log data. I save/purge tracks the day that they were created, so saving them wasn't an issue with me. But if you're looking for a quick and easy way to archive your waypoints and/or routes, you might just want to use EasyGPS to download all of the waypoints from the GPSr, and save them to your PC.

+SpongeRob Posted April 7, 2003 Posted April 7, 2003 A few other things it will clear out that you can't back up... o Any user settings you have made (map/screen layout, etc) o Unit Identification (if you have set it up with your name, address, etc) o Calendar Notes o Alamanac Data When you do this upgrade you basically have a new off the shelf unit with most regards. -- SpongeRob rwmech@keenpeople.com www.keenpeople.com WPWU826 Cache'n Retrievers Quote
