NOTE When naming a file, you may have trouble finding a name that uniquely identifies
the file's contents. Dates, for example, are often used in filenames; however,
they take up several characters, leaving you with little flexibility. The secret is
to find a compromise, a point where you can combine a date with a word, creating
a unique filename. The maximum length of the filename is 8 characters. The
characters may be numbers (0, ..., 9), letters (A, ..., Z) and spaces (for example
legal identifiers are "ABC", "AA", "12121212", "A B C", "1 A 1", and so on.

The Load function copies the content of the selected file from USER MEDIA to the
internal memory of the chart plotter. If the selected file contains Marks/Events
already present in the chart plotter memory, they are non duplicated. It is re-
quired to insert the number of the Route/Track on which loading data: if the
Route/Track is not empty, it is overwritten.
