File Management
Waypoints (including geocaches) and tracks are managed
using GPX—or GPS Exchange Format— les. A GPX  le
stores location, elevation, and time information and is
used to transfer data between your PN-60 and your
computer. GPX  les can be saved to the PN-60’s internal
drive or on an SD card that you put in the device.
Tip On the Waypoints, Geocaches, Tracks, and Pro le
pages, press MENU and select File to view the available  le
management options. For more information about the options
available on each page, see that section of the manual.
Creating a New GPX File on the PN-60
When you save a track, a GPX  le is created.
When you mark a waypoint or geocache, if a waypoint
le is open, the new waypoint is saved to the open
le. If a waypoint  le is not open, a new  le is created.
