Maximum waypoint storage capacity is for 400 points combined with both NORMAL and EXT. modes. 12.2.1 Complete route transfer When KGP-925 receives a Complete route data, “OVERWRITING last sent route” is indicated and then it indicates “LOADED ext. route” to notify the route was successfully transferred.
12.2.3 Working (active) route transfer When KGP-925 receives Working route data for the first time, it shows “LOADED ext. active route” and goes into Working route mode regardless of previous navigation mode due to the first priority. As far as KGP-925 receives Working route data within 10 seconds consecutively, it continues to work for the received working route.
