Backup

• We recommended making a complete backup of the GPSMAP H1 before doing anything else with it.
• It is not difficult to accidentally delete and/or overwrite important system files and/or user data on the device.
• Creating a 'Factory Default' archival copy of the GPSMAP H1 now may help prevent unwanted anxiety in the future.
• Tip: Make frequent archival copies to allow for future restoration to a recent configuration should it become necessary.

Create Archive

Connect the GPSMAP H1 to your computer via USB cable. If the GPSMAP H1 prompts "Use MTP (media transfer)?", select 'Yes' and press 'ENTER'. Wait for the GPSMAP H1 to enter MTP Mode. Create a new folder on your desktop named 'GPSMAP H1 Archive' (or something similar). Open the file explorer window and position it so both windows are visible. Find the GPSMAP H1 icon/folder (blue triangle) and open it. Open the 'Internal Storage' icon/folder. Click and drag the 'GARMIN' folder to the 'GPSMAP H1 Archive' folder and release the mouse button. Wait for the copy process to finish completely. Disconnect the GPSMAP H1 from your computer. Rename the copied 'GARMIN' folder to include a date suffix (example: 'GARMIN - 27DEC22' or 'GARMIN - 221227' etc). Save the 'GPSMAP H1 Archive' folder in a safe location, such as an external USB flash drive.
