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.

There are several 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:

•

You can save the complete Waypoint and Route Lists to a user cartridge in 
the chart card slot.

•

You can load new Waypoint and Route Lists from a user cartridge in the 
chart card 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 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 SEND WPT LIST ON HSB and RECIEIVE WPTS 

FROM HSB. 

LOAD USER CARD, SEND WPT LIST ON HSB and RECIEIVE WPTS 

FROM HSB replace the existing waypoint and route lists with the 
transferred lists.
