The WPL record, as defined by the NMEA 0183 stan-
dard, technically does not allow the output of waypoint
descriptions when interfacing to other devices such
as Chart Plotters. However, SIMRAD realizes that with
2000 waypoints, you have spent a lot of time preparing
your library of waypoints with definitions and symbols.
You probably will want to record these to a PC, just in
case the memory in the receiver fails in the future. For
this reason, we have provided you the option to Include
Waypoint Names in the WPL record to save your way-
points to a PC or to meet the NMEA 0183 standard for
interfacing to other marine equipment. The definition of
the differences between these two formats is given in the
Basic operation section and in the Installation section of
this manual.
