With the 957’s coordinates’ update feature, when you get to
the actual spot location of the waypoint, you can update the
waypoint by setting its coordinates to your present position.
You can do this on the WAYPOINTS CHART screen or any of
the waypoint list screens.
You can also use this same feature to convert approximate
loran TD coordinates to precise GPS coordinates.

To import or export waypoints and routes to and from older Northstar
units, these older units must have software version 3.12 or higher
