You can import and export waypoints and routes between the
following Northstar units:
•
two 957's
•
a 957 and a 952, or 951, or 941
Only one unit, called the "master," actually enters the import/
export function. The other unit can remain in normal
operation, including the displaying of different screens, as
long as you do not add or change any of its waypoints or
routes during the actual transfer process. You can designate
either of the units to be the master since both units have the
ability to import and export waypoints and routes. However,
once you do select the master unit, just 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).
The two units must be properly connected with the correct
cabling, interface ports, and port setting. For interfacing infor-
mation, contact your authorized Northstar dealer.
When you move waypoints and routes into unit 1 (the
designated master) from unit 2, the entire contents of unit 2 are
imported into unit 1. Also, if any exact waypoint or route name
unit
matches exist, the waypoints or routes from unit 2 will
overwrite 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
