USB MASS STORAGE
The USB Mass Storage mode lets you transfer files the using drag-and-drop
method on your computer – the same method you use to transfer files from
one folder or drive to another. However, when transferring files in the USB
Mass Storage mode, video files that are in formats not supported by GPS-500
will be transferred without transcoding. These files won’t be playable on your
GPS-500 but will take up space on your SD card.
