GPS Data files:
GPS Data Files contain waypoints, routes, trails and event marker
icons. Instructions for copying GPS Data Files between your computer
and an MMC are contained in the instruction manual for your MMC
card reader and MapCreate 6 software.
GPS data automatically recorded in the unit's internal memory must be
saved to the MMC (as a GPS Data File) in order to store it on your per-
sonal computer. GPS Data Files stored on an MMC must be copied from
the card to the iWAY's internal memory before the unit can read them.
Here's how:
1. Insert the MMC into your unit. From the Main Menu, choose

2. The Transfer My Data menu includes a message which tells you if an
MMC is present or not. If no MMC is present, you must first insert a
card into the iWAY in order to activate the Load or Save commands.
