Is there a limit to the amount of data I can store on the BackTrack Mini


The Bushnell BackTrack Mini has limitations regarding the amount of data it can store, specifically related to trip logging and waypoint saving.

Data Storage Limits

1. Trip Logging: The maximum log time for a single trip is 50 hours. If the memory for a trip reaches this limit during recording, the device will stop logging further data and prompt the user to save the trip[1][6].

2. Waypoint Saving: The BackTrack Mini will not allow new waypoints to be saved if there is insufficient internal memory. Users must delete existing waypoints or trips to free up space before creating new ones[1][6][7].

3. Connection with App: The device can connect to the Bushnell Connect app via Bluetooth, allowing users to manage their trips and waypoints more effectively. This includes the ability to sync data with a smartphone or computer, which can help in managing storage by offloading data from the device[4][6].

In summary, while there is no specific numerical limit provided for the total number of waypoints or trips, the operational constraints of 50 hours for trip logging and the need for available memory for saving new waypoints impose practical limits on data storage for the BackTrack Mini.
