Waypoint names from SH Plotter into Raymarine ST60 Multi

[BlueSkyNick]

I've set up a number of waypoints in my Standard Horizon CP175 with names up to 8 characters. Via NMEA/Seatalk interface the WP information (DTW, BTW, etc) is appearing on the ST60 Multi repeater.

Trouble is, on WP XTE only the last 4 characters are being displayed, for example WEYMOUTH and YARMOUTH would come up as OUTH. Even just the first four characters would be better than this.

Its not mission critical, just a niggle but has anybody else seen this and, better still, know how to fix it?

It's a standard Raymarine problem oh sorry characteristic mentioned in one of the manuals. Mine's the same. No solution AFAIK.

Thanks, I feel a lot better now in that I am not doing anything stupid!

You could input them as WEY and YAR or HTUOMYEW and HTUOMRAY
