5.6 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 selected, any waypoints sent on SeaTalk or NMEA are
transferred and appended, one-by-one, to the 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 on SeaTalk or NMEA:
1. To display the waypoint list press MARKS followed by the WAYPOINT LIST
soft key.
Press the WAYPOINT TRANSFER soft key.
2. Press the soft key RECEIVE WPTS FROM ST/NMEA.
The soft key changes to STOP RECEIVING WAYPOINTS.
When waypoints are transmitted by other equipment they are added to the
waypoint list on the chartplotter. Routes transmitted on NMEA are
appended to the route list.
