Track logs - why do they disappear after power off?

After first using my Skydemon Mobile MD in flight I put it into 'sleep' mode and when I got home I was able to download my flight tracks.  When I later did a full 'power off' I was surprised to find that after powering back on the flight tracks had been deleted from the 'Statistics' menu.  Why is it set up to do that?  Isn't there a way of storing the tracks after powering off?  If I fly away for a weekend I'm going to want to power down my MD to save battery power, but I would also still like to be able to download the track file when I get home.  Can this be changed?

Also, what happens if the battery runs down completely?  Does it go into sleep mode or power off mode? ie will I lose the tracks if I forget to turn the unit off?

The latest beta version has a new flight log which records all your flights, so they can be referred to on the device, giving takeoff and landing times duration, speed etc.

It remains on the device regardless of powering down the device. So you can download the beta version or wait for the next release, there are some other very useful additions included as well
