FLIR RAYMARINE A98 - 4.1 Saving user data and user settings

4.1 Saving user data and user
settings
User data, settings and media les can be saved
to a memory card.
Waypoints, routes and tracks are saved in
the .gpx le format. The gpx le format is a
device-independent data format, making it easy to
exchange data between your display and other GPS
devices / software that support the gpx le format.

Legacy archive.fsh support
With the introduction of LightHouse II Release 9,
Raymarine added support for the GPS Exchange
(GPX) le format for archiving and transfer of
Waypoint, Route and Track data. The GPX le
format is a device-independent format universally
used, simplifying data exchange between Raymarine
and other manufacturer’s products. With the
introduction of LightHouse II Release 14, support for
Raymarine’s legacy data archiving format archive.fsh
has been removed.
The process for converting an archive.fsh le to the
new GPX le format is as follows:
1. Using an MFD with LightHouse II Release 8
or lower, export user data to MicroSD card
(archive.fsh format).
2. Update the MFD to LightHouse II Release 13.
3. Import the archive.fsh le from MicroSD card.
4. Export user data to MicroSD card (GPX format).
5. Update the MFD to LightHouse II Release 14
or greater.
6. Import user data (GPX format) from the MicroSD
card.
Alternatively Raymarine’s Voyage Planner software
can also be used to convert archive.fsh le to GPX
format.
