Transferring waypoints to and from a PC Reference Manual Revision D
If the sending unit doesn’t have any way-
points and routes, the control unit dis-
plays the dialog-box message “N
o
waypts or routes to transfer” and the
status-bar message “N
o transfer done.”
If the receiving unit is completely full of
waypoints and routes with no more room
available, the master unit displays the
dialog-box message “Status error [002]
database full.”
8. If the transfer is successful, the control
unit’s status bar displays the message
“
Transfer complete .”
You can now press any key to resume
normal operations.
Transferring waypoints to and from a PC
If you’ve stored many waypoints or routes
in the
6000i , or if these waypoints are the
only record you have of these important
locations, you may want to keep a separate
copy on your Personal Computer.
You can transfer waypoints and routes to
your PC using Northstar’s loader cable
(part number 1100-LC) and the included
PC software. Using available third-party
software, you can copy, edit or plot your
waypoints and routes. Most importantly,
you can reload them from your PC into
your
6000i if they’re accidentally erased or
lost due to equipment failure. For transfer
software and instructions, and cable
ordering information, contact your autho-
rized Northstar dealer.
