tons in the lower section of the data selection area provide the following options:

message box in which you either must confirm the command or cancel it. If you choose the op-
tion Yes, the corresponding GPS Track file (*.gpx) is irretrievably deleted from your computer.

location in the Select target foldersection. If necessary, you can create and name a new target
folder using the New directory button. In the entry field File name you can rename the GPS
track. In the Filetype pop-up menu you can also choose between the options Gpx files (*.gpx)
and Kml files (*.kml) :
o Choose the GPX file format, to exchange the track data with other users. This GPX file
can now for example be sent by e-mail and be read in with a GoPal
®
Assistant installed
on another computer.
o Alternatively, choose the KML file format in order to open and display the GPS Track in
the separate application Google Earth
TM
: KML files can be opened and displayed directly
in Google Earth.
Click OK: The GPS track is saved in the specified folder with the selected name and file format.
Functions for device management
In the Devices area and in the volume area, the GoPal
®
Assistant provides access to the currently
connected navigation device: It is generally not possible to connect several navigation devices to
your PC at the same time. However, you can connect the navigation devices to the PC one after
the other to, for example, save the GPS track data saved there to the PC. The GoPal
®
Assistant
saves the IDs of all navigation devices connected to the PC and lists them in Devices. The naviga-
tion device currently connected is identified by a green button.
If you select the connected navigation device in Devices, the following information about the de-
vice appears in the data selection area:
• Name
The current name of the device is displayed here. You can rename the device at any time (see
below).
