• Automatic Operation - If both units are set to
automatic, a change in the active flight plan of
one unit is also be seen in the other. Initiating a
direct-to to a waypoint on one unit also initiates a
direct-to to the same waypoint on the other unit.
If one unit is set for automatic crossfill and the
other is set for manual crossfill, then only the
auto unit automatically sends data to the manual
unit. In this configuration, the auto unit could be
thought of as the master unit.
• Manual Operation - If manual operation is
desired, the pilot must invoke all transfers
from that unit. When a unit is configured for
automatic transfer, a manual transfer can also
be done on command. If either of the messages
'data transfer error' or 'data transfer cancelled' are
received during an automatic or manual transfer,
the pilot must force another transfer.
To transfer flight plans or user waypoints
to/from a second 400 Series unit:
1) Select 'Crossfill' from the Flight Planning Page,
using the steps described at the beginning of
this section.
2) The flashing cursor highlights the method field.
Turn the small right knob to select 'Auto' or
'Manual' (Figure 10-23). 'Auto' automatically
transfers any selection of (or any change to) a
direct-to destination or active flight plan to a
second 400 or 500 Series Garmin unit.
