Rather than just dumping any information stored in data gathering GPS
machines file it away somewhere on your computer or to disk.

I was able to demolish a malicious claim of low flying by threatening to
produce position and height records showing exactly where I was and when
at the time of the so called incident. Sixty miles (+/-300m) away plus a
couple of visited airfield logbooks to confirm it.
Seems some anti aviation nutters will stoop to anything to further their
case.
