Moving waypoints/routes between units

958 Operator's Manual, Rev. A
With the 958's coordinates' update feature, when you get to
the actual spot location of the waypoint, you can update the
waypoint by setting its coordinates to your present position.
You can do this on the WAYPOINTS CHART screen or any of
the waypoint list screens.
You can also use this same feature to convert approximate
loran TD coordinates to precise GPS coordinates.
To update the waypoint's coordinates to your exact position at
the moment you press the UPDATE COORD menu key:
1. Select the desired waypoint on the CHART screen (its
name and coordinates are displayed in the INFO BAR).
2. Press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key, then WAYPOINTS menu
key. If necessary, press the NEXT VIEW key to display the
WAYPOINTS CHART screen, then press the EDIT WAYPT
menu key.
3. When ready, press the UPDATE COORD menu key.
4. Press the ENTER key (or press CLEAR to cancel).
1. Press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key, then the WAYPOINTS
menu key.
2. If necessary, press the NEXT VIEW menu key to show the
LOCAL screen. Press the CURSOR PAD to select the
desired waypoint.
3. Press the EDIT menu key.
4. Press the UPDATE COORD menu key.
5. Press the ENTER key (or press CLEAR to cancel).
The 958's import/export function lets you transfer all
waypoints and routes between two 958's (or Northstar 941,
951, or 952).
To import or export waypoints and routes to and from older Northstar
units, these older units must have software version 3.12 or higher
