Reference section 4 — Creating waypoints and routes
Transferring waypoints/routes to other units
Reference Manual Revision D
6000i; if you choose to operate the controls
on an older unit to perform the transfer,
the instructions may be slightly different.
Be sure to choose the right function for
what you want to do: import waypoints
and routes from the second unit, or export
waypoints and routes to the second unit.
Connecting the two units
The two units must be properly connected
with the correct cabling and port settings.
For interfacing information, contact your
authorized Northstar dealer. To enable
transfers on the 6000i, go to the
PORT
SETUP
screen, change the AUX PORT to “D/B
XFER,” and turn the unit off and then on.
Transferring waypoints and routes
When you transfer waypoints, the entire
contents of one unit’s database are moved
into the other. They will be added to the
waypoints and routes already in the
receiving unit. If any exact waypoint or
route name matches exist, the waypoints
or routes from one unit will overwrite the
waypoints or routes already in the other.
NOTE:
If you press any function key on the con-
trol unit during the transfer, the message
“
Transfer aborted by key hit” will be dis-
played, and the process will be aborted.
The control unit will then display the
requested function. You can press any
key on the second unit, however, without
interrupting the transfer process.
To intentionally stop the transfer at any
time, press the
Stop key. The control unit
will display the message “
Transfer
aborted by key hit.” Waypoints and
routes transferred up to that point are in
the receiving unit (be aware that routes
may not contain all of their waypoints due
to the transfer interruption). Press the
Start key again to restart the entire
transfer process from the beginning.
1. Choose the unit you’d like to use as the
control unit. The instructions below are for
a 6000i.
Remember: You can use either of the two
units because both units are capable of
importing or exporting waypoints and
routes. Make sure the second unit is on.
2. At the control unit, press WAYPTS/ROUTES .
