store data files (see section 1-3). There are three
types of files: waypoints, routes or a track.

Loading data from the user card to the
Instrument

Instrument:
A waypoints file: The new waypoints are
added to any existing waypoints in the
Instrument. If a new waypoint has the same
name as an existing waypoint but has
different data, the Instrument 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 Instrument.
If a new route has the same name as an
existing route but has different data then the
Instrument asks which route to keep.

existing track in the Instrument.
