  1. Insert a card with a pit location text file into the pit lane timer unit.  
  2. Load the pit locations from the SD card:

    Menu -> Pit Lane Menu -> Manage Pit Locations -> Load Pit Locations from SD Card -> OK button.

This will add the locations in the loaded file to the pit lane timer's internal memory and make it able to detect the pit locations as long as it has satellite lock.

  1. Save the pit locations to the SD card (see above).
  2. Remove the SD Card from the pit lane timer unit and open it on a computer.
  3. Find the most recently saved PITLOCATIONS.txt file on the SD card.

    (The file name with the highest number is the latest revision on the card.)
     
  4. Open the text file.
  5. You can now edit the track names in this file manually.
  6. Save the file.  
  7. Copy the new file to the SD cards for the pit lane timers you want to transfer them to.

When new pit lane locations are added from the SD card, these will not overwrite the currently stored location but add to them. Therefore, when you are making edits it is best to clear the old list from the unit memory before you load the edited list to avoid duplications.
