Display base

A subset of chart features is called the "display base". As required by IMO, these fea-
tures cannot be made invisible. To get the display base, uncheck all items on the
[Standard] and [Other] pages in the [Chart Display] menu.
The display base consists of the following chart features:
• Coastline (high water)
• Own ship's safety contour, which is chosen by the user
• Indication of isolated underwater dangers of depths less than the safety contour that
lie within the safe waters defined by the safety contour
• Indication of isolated dangers that lie within the safe water defined by the safety con-
tour such as bridges, overhead wires, etc., and including buoys and beacons wheth-
er or not these are being used as aids to navigation.
• Traffic routine systems
• Scale, range, orientation and display mode
• Units of depth and height
