Issue 115 seems to be corrected, after entering suffix 0000, the unit shows 0001, instead of 10000.

I've noticed that statistics (like total time, distance, ascent, descent, etc..) are not stored anymore in the .gpx file. Can anyone confirm? They were saved at least up to 4.20 and probably removed with 6.00. I have no experience with versions in between.
