Default Furuno VX2 Waypoints

I have a pair of 10.4" VX2 screens at my lower helm and a 7" VX2 in the tower. The problem I am having is the waypoints in the lower helm are not displayed on the upper helm? The chart chip is in the lower helm and it is shared with the upper station. Is there a way to transfer or setup my upper unit to display the waypoints?

My experience is with the Navnet1 but I am pretty sure the Vx2 works the same way. The waypoints are stored in the memory of the display on which they were created. You can transfer them to other displays (presuming the displays are networked) by going to SYSTEM CONFIGURATION (from the MENU key on the display you are transferring to), DATA TRANSFER, then RECEIVE DATA VIA NETWORK. You can then select the host name of the display you are transferring from and the type data to be received (marks & lines and/or waypoints and routes), then hit the RCV hot key and the data will be transferred to your display. Make sure you keep data backed up on a memory card as the transfer will overwrite existing data.
