Erasing a waypoint group
When you delete a waypoint group, the group name and all the
associated waypoints are erased from the system. If a group
contains one or more waypoints that you want to keep, move these
waypoints out of the group before deleting the waypoint group. You
can erase any waypoint group except the following:
• the ‘My Waypoints’ group,
• a group containing an active waypoint,
• a group that contains waypoints that are part of a stored route.
With the Waypoint Group List displayed:
1. Select the waypoint group that you want to erase.
2. Select the
ERASE GROUP softkey.
3. Select
YES
to confirm the action, or
NO
to cancel.
Managing waypoints
Your system features a number of functions to help you manage
your waypoints effectively.
You can:
• Archive waypoints to a memory card, for backup purposes.
• Transfer your waypoints to other NMEA compatible equipment.
• Add password protection to your waypoints to prevent
unauthorized access.
Archiving waypoints to a memory card
You can archive your waypoints to a memory card for backup
purposes.
You can choose to save all of your waypoints, or just a specific
waypoint group.
Note: DO NOT save data (waypoints, routes, and so on) to a
chart card, as the charts may be overwritten.
1. Insert a memory card in the card slot.
2. Press the DATA button.
3. Select the ARCHIVE AND TRANSFER softkey.
4. Select the SAVE TO CARD softkey.

the group in the list and then select the

softkey.
Waypoint transfer (NMEA)
You can send and receive waypoints to and from other NMEA
compatible devices.
Note: If the system receives an active waypoint over SeaTalk
or NMEA, it is displayed but cannot be edited. Waypoints
received over SeaTalk are distinguished by an “S” waypoint
icon. Waypoints received over NMEA are distinguished by an
“N” waypoint icon.
