Backing up your system data
It is recommended to regularly copy user data and your system
settings database as part of your back-up routine.
Waypoints
The waypoints option in the storage dialog allows for managing
user data.
Export format
The following formats are available for export:
• User Data File version 6
Used to export waypoints, routes and colored tracks/trails.
• User Data File version 5
Used to export waypoints and routes with a standardized
universally unique identifier (UUID), which is very reliable and
easy to use. The data includes such information as the time and
date when a route was created.
• User Data File version 4
Best used when transferring data from one system to another,
since it contains all the extra bits of information these systems
store about items.
• User Data file version 3 (w/depth)
Should be used when transferring user data from one system to a
legacy product
