I have been reading the manual for my new Helix 5 DI GPS and have found another “hole” in the instructions. If I understand the manual correctly Waypoints, Routes, Grids and Tracks are stored internally and can be downloaded to a Micro SD card. I figure that if I have a Map Card installed I have to turn the unit off, remove the Map Card, insert the blank SD card and export my data. I figure this will not be bad because I would be exporting the data at the end of the trip while on the trailer.

Here is the “hole”: To do a Screen Shot or a Recording the SD card must be inserted to get the Screen Shot Menu. So if I have a Map Card installed I must turn off the unit, remove the Map Card, install the blank SD card, turn the unit back on and then do the Screen shot. To continue fishing I then have to turn the unit off, swap cards and restart the unit. While swapping cards does not seem to be a difficult thing, I think I would rather not do it while on the water.

Have I read the manual correctly?
