Loading data from the user card to the 657
This loads one file from the user card to the 657:
A waypoints file: The new waypoints are
added to any existing waypoints in the 657.
If a new waypoint has the same name as an
existing waypoint but has different data, the
657 displays both waypoints. Select:
Skip: Do not load the new waypoint.
Replace: Load the new waypoint and
replace the existing one.
Skip all: Do not load any new
waypoints which have the same names
as existing waypoints.
Rplc all: Load all new waypoints
which have the same names as existing
waypoints; the new waypoints replace
the existing waypoints.
A routes file: The new routes are added to any
existing routes in the 657. If a new route has
the same name as an existing route but has
different data then the 657 asks which route
to keep.
A track file: The new track will replace the
existing track in the 657.
