Tagging Data

where the data was recorded on the map and in the Profile tab in your DeLorme program.
Before you begin, you must download the GPS log file or track file and the data file
[Suunto
(*.sdf), Timex Trainer CSV (*.csv), or Generic CSV File (*.csv)] to your computer. See
Receiving a Track From Your Third-party GPS Device
for information on using the Exchange
Wizard to transfer files.

particular category, leave it blank.
• You can use the second row to assign columns of data in your .csv file to a
specific type of data. For example, if you have a temperature field named "T"
