What happens if the BackTrack Mini runs out of memory during a trip


If the Bushnell BackTrack Mini runs out of memory during a trip, there are a few things that can happen:

Trip Recording Limits

- The BackTrack Mini has a maximum log time of 50 hours for a single trip. 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][3].

Insufficient Memory for New Waypoints

- The BackTrack Mini will not allow new waypoints to be saved if there is insufficient internal memory available. Users must delete existing waypoints or trips to free up space before creating new ones[1][3].

Syncing with the Bushnell Connect App

- To free up memory space on the BackTrack Mini, users can sync trips and waypoints to the Bushnell Connect smartphone app via Bluetooth. Once the data is removed from the device, it will remain stored in the app's library[1][2].

- If memory space is needed, users can remove trips and waypoints from the BackTrack Mini. As long as the device's data has been synced with the app, the data will remain stored in the app[2].

In summary, the BackTrack Mini has practical limits on trip recording time and available memory for waypoints. If memory becomes full during a trip, recording will stop and the user will be prompted to save the trip data. Syncing with the Bushnell Connect app allows offloading data from the device to free up space for future use.
