3.6 Transferring Waypoints and Routes
Displayed SeaTalk Waypoints
In an integrated system, when a route is made current on any SeaTalk equipment it is sent to all other SeaTalk equipment. This route will override any other current route. When GOTO waypoint or GOTO cursor is in operation it is considered a route.
The current route can be edited on any equipment with route edit capability.
Note: Waypoints transferred as part of a route are not automatically saved by the unit; however you can save the route locally, thus adding the waypoints to the local Waypoint List.
Transferring Database Lists
Database lists can be transferred between units by various means. The method you choose will depend on the links available (SeaTalk or NMEA) and whether you want to transfer individual waypoints or the complete Waypoint and Route List:
•You can receive waypoints that are transmitted by other equipment on SeaTalk or NMEA.
When this option is selected, any waypoints received on SeaTalk or NMEA are transferred and appended,
•You can send the Waypoint and Route Lists from the display unit to other instruments via NMEA using the SEND WPT LIST function. Sending the Waypoint List does not affect current routes. The NMEA link could be to a PC.
Receiving Waypoints from Other Equipment
➤To receive incoming waypoints on SeaTalk or NMEA:
1.Display the Waypoint List by pressing MARK followed by the WAY- POINT LIST soft key.
Press the WAYPOINT TRANSFER soft key.
2.Press the soft key RECEIVE WPTS FROM ST/NMEA; the soft key changes to STOP RECEIVING WAYPOINTS.
When waypoints are transmitted by other equipment they are added to the Waypoint List on the display unit. Routes transmitted on NMEA are appended to the Route List.
