Default Exchanging data between two Garmin GPS receivers?


I have a fixed Garmin 128 GPS receiver onboard. Used to take a
portable computer onboard so at the end on my trip I could donwload
all data about my track, speed etc.

I noticed I could use my handheld Garmin GPS 48 (which is also onboard
as a reserve unit) to transfer route and waypoint information from
boat to home and vice versa, as there is this Garmin propriatary
interface setup. No need to bother with a laptop and serial cable.

All data such as waypoints, track and routes moves fine back and
forth. However, I have not been able to read timestamps of my track
data. Is that possible, and how? Laptop works fine and I can download
time data, but I would rather use just my GPS for data transfer...
