4.2 SAVE PLOT TO FILE
This menu option automatically saves a copy of the data currently plotted on
your PC monitor (i.e., waypoints, routes) to the currently loaded data file.
The data is saved in the currently selected coordinate system format
(e.g., Latitude/Longitude, UTM/UPS, etc.). If more than one file is currently
loaded, the data will be saved to the file loaded last (named on the top display
line).
4.3 SAVE PLOT AS
This menu option allows you to save a copy of the data currently plotted on
your PC monitor (i.e., waypoints, routes) to an ASCII data file. The data is
saved in the currently selected coordinate system format (e.g., Latitude/
Longitude, UTM/UPS, etc.). To use this option, enter the requested
information into the dialog box (drive, directory and file name) and select the
“OK” button to save the file.
4.4 CLEAR PLOT
The clear plot menu option will clear all plot data displayed by the program.
