5.6 Transferring Waypoints and Routes
Displayed SeaTalk Waypoints
In an integratedsystem, when a route is made current on any SeaTalk
equipmentitissenttoallSeaTalkinstruments,includingthischartplotter;this
route will overrideany other current route. When GOTO waypoint or GOTO
cursoris in operationit is considered a route.
The current route can be edited on any instrumentwith route edit capability.
Note:Transferred waypointsare not automaticallysaved by the chartplotter,
howeveryou can save the route locally,thus adding the waypoints to the local
waypoint list.
Managing Database Lists
There are several methods of maintainingdatabase lists.The method you
choosewill depend on the links available (SeaTalk, NMEA or
hsb

), and
whether you want to transferindividual waypoints or the complete waypoint
and route list:
• You can save the complete Waypointand Route Liststo a usercartridgein
the chart card slot.
• You can load new Waypoint and RouteLists from a user cartridgein the
chartcard slot.
• If waypoints are transmitted by other equipment on SeaTalk or NMEA,
you can receive them on the chartplotter.
When RECEIVE WPTS FROM ST/NMEA is selected, any waypoints sent on
SeaTalk or NMEA are transferred and appended, one-by-one, to the way-
point list; routes sent on NMEA are appended to the route list.
You can use this function to add waypoints from a PCconnected via
NMEA.
• You can send the waypoint and route lists from the chartplotterto other
instruments via NMEA using the SEND WPT LIST function.
Sendingthe waypoint listdoes not affect current routes.
