5.6 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 SeaTalk instruments, including this chartplotter; 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 instrument with route edit capability.

Note: Transferred waypoints are not automatically saved by the chartplotter, however you can save the route locally, thus adding the waypoints to the local waypoint list.

Managing Database Lists

There are several methods of maintaining database lists. The method you choose will depend on the links available (SeaTalk, NMEA or hsb2), and whether you want to transfer individual waypoints or the complete waypoint and route list:

•You can save the complete Waypoint and Route Lists to a user cartridge in the chart card slot.

•You can load new Waypoint and Route Lists from a user cartridge in the chart card slot.

•If waypoints are transmitted by other equipment on SeaTalk or NMEA, you can receive them on the chartplotter.

When RECEIVE WPTS FROM ST/NMEA is selected, any waypoints sent on SeaTalk or NMEA are transferred and appended, one-by-one, to the way- point list; routes sent on NMEA are appended to the route list.

You can use this function to add waypoints from a PC connected via NMEA.

•You can send the waypoint and route lists from the chartplotter 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.

•You can transfer the waypoint and route lists from one chartplotter to another across an hsb2 link using SEND WPT LIST ON HSB and RECIEIVE WPTS FROM HSB.

CAUTION:

The functions LOAD USER CARD, SEND WPT LIST ON HSB and RECIEIVE WPTS

FROM HSB replace the existing waypoint and route lists with the transferred lists.
