Chapter 3: Waypoints, Routes and Tracks
3.5 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 three methods of maintaining database lists. The method you
choose will depend on the links available (SeaTalk, NMEA or HSB), and
whether you want to transfer individual waypoints or the complete
waypoint and route list:
• If waypoints are transmitted by other equipment on SeaTalk or
NMEA, you can receive them on the chartplotter.
When this option is enabled, any waypoints sent on SeaTalk or NMEA
are transferred and appended, one-by-one, to the open waypoint 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 HSB link using COPY WPTS FROM HSB.
CAUTION
The function COPY WPTS FROM HSB replaces the existing
waypoint and route lists with the transferred lists.
To receive incoming waypoints:
1. To display the waypoint list press MARKS followed by the
WAYPOINT
WAYPOINT LIST softkey.
TRANSFER
Press the WAYPOINT TRANSFER soft key.
