657 displays both waypoints. Select:

Replace: Load the new waypoint and replace the existing one.

Skip all: Do not load any new waypoints which have the same names as existing waypoints.

Rplc all: Load all new waypoints which have the same names as existing waypoints; the new waypoints replace the existing waypoints.

A routes file: The new routes are added to any existing routes in the 657. If a new route has the same name as an existing route but has different data then the 657 asks which route to keep.

A track file: The new track will replace the existing track in the 657.
