Ho Guys, so I've got my mem card sorted and everything is configured, but I'm curious to know how I start and end a session? Sorry if it's a dumb question. Seems like the trip meter runs all the time unless I reset it in which case it just starts again. If I switch it off, then back on again it starts from where I switched it off. What am I missing? Is it something yo do with creating a new file each time? Feel like a dumb arsenal for asking, but this seems like one of the most unituative pieces of hardware I've ever used, and I'm a software Business Analyst.

Set the file size to 'card Size'

Then every time you turn the GPS on it starts a new file.

When you download the files from the card they have a time and date stamp so you can find each session.

Did you load the Genie firmware from here? :http://mtbest.net/setting-up-navi-GT31.htm

If you use this firmware there is a setting in MISC that allows you to 'save all' to the SD card and also a menu to 'delete all'. This will NOT delete the data on the SD card but will clear the buffer flash memory and reset all the Genie settings. As I remember, it also resets the trip meter but maybe not the overall distance meter in the Nav section.

One of the files saved to SD card is the .SPD file which is a text file that has your top 2 sec and 10 sec runs listed. It also lists your session distance. Open it with a text editor.
