There is some Ventre-specific info on the GPS page of my website.
It's not clear what you mean by "saving"(e.g. on the GPS, on paper,
by using a program to download?), but changing the display format
(e.g. decimal degrees to degrees/minutes/seconds) won't change
how te GPS stores the data internally, nor how it communicates the
stored waypoints to an external program such as G7ToWin.
