4.2 Writing and retrieving data
You can transfer data between a number of devices to help you
backup and manage your waypoints, routes, and tracks.
Your multifunction display can save up to 3000 waypoints, 150
routes and 15 tracks in database lists. Once this number is
reached you will need to archive data to a CompactFlash card for
safe-keeping or retrieval at a later date. Alternatively, you can
transfer data to another instrument or PC using NMEA. When
navigation is active, you can also receive waypoints, routes and
tracks from a PC, SeaTalk and NMEA instruments.
