Only one unit, designated the "master," enters the import/
export function. The other unit can remain in normal opera-
tion as long as you don't actually add or modify its way-
points or routes during the actual transfer process. You can
display any screen during the transfer process, including the
IMPORT DATA screen or the EXPORT DATA screen. You can
designate either of the two units to be the master because
both units have the function to import and export waypoints
and routes, but once you select the master, just be sure to
select the correct function for what you want to do (import
waypoints and routes from a unit, or export waypoints and
routes to that unit).
The two units must be properly connected using the correct
cabling and the aux head ports. For interfacing information, it
is recommended that you contact your local Northstar dealer
(also see the Northstar 951/952 Installation Manual, part num-
ber GM1505C).
When you move waypoints and routes into unit 1 (the desig-
nated master) from unit 2, the entire contents of unit 2 are
imported into unit 1. Also, if any waypoint or route name
unit
matches exist, the waypoints or routes from unit 2 will over-
write the waypoints or routes already in unit 1.
If you press any function key on the master unit during the transfer, the
error message
the process will be aborted, and the master unit will display the particular
screen accessed by that function keypress. You can press any key on the
other unit, however, without interrupting the transfer process.
To purposely stop the transfer at any time, press the

not comprise all of its waypoints due to the transfer interruption). Press
