Reference section 5 — Creating waypoints and routes
Transferring waypoints/routes to other units Northstar 972
warning, as this might result in an unsafe
path. You cannot erase a waypoint that is in a route or the navplan; it must be
removed from the route first.
Transferring waypoints/routes to other units
Networked 972’s automatically share data.
This section only applies to transferring data
to or from the older Northstar units.
The 972’s import/export function lets you
transfer all waypoints and routes between a
972
and a Northstar 941, 951, 952, 957,
958, or 6000i .
NOTE:
To import or export waypoints and routes to
and from older Northstar units, these older
units must contain software version 3.12 or
higher. To obtain any necessary upgrades,
please see your authorized Northstar
dealer.
You can perform the transfer from either
unit. The other unit can remain in normal
operation, including the displaying of
different screens, as long as you do not edit
any of its waypoints or routes during the
transfer. It is preferable to stop navigating
on the receiving unit by pressing
STEER
,
Navlog
, and then
Stop
.
The unit you operate to perform the
transfer is called the “control unit.” The
instructions here apply to operating the
972; if you choose to operate the controls
on an older unit to perform the transfer,
the instructions may be slightly different.
Be sure to choose the right function for
what you want to do:
import waypoints
and routes from the second unit , or export
waypoints and routes to the second unit .
Connecting the two units
The two units must be properly connected
with the correct cabling and port settings.
For interfacing information, contact your
authorized Northstar dealer. To enable
transfers on the 972, go to the
Port Setup
screen, change the
Aux Port
to “D/B XFER,”
and turn the unit off and then on.
Transferring waypoints and routes
When you transfer waypoints, the entire
contents of one unit’s database are moved
into the other. They will be added to the
waypoints and routes already in the
receiving unit. If any exact waypoint or
route name matches exist, the waypoints
or routes from one unit will
overwrite the
waypoints or routes already in the other.
