Chart Plotter Introduction

The chart plotter provides a small world map in raster format. A vector chart for the US
coastline (with Alaska and Hawaii) is provided also. The plotter section has functions
to enter points, and create and plan routes.
The chart plotter receives position information supplied from the position-fixing equip-
ment like GPS or DGPS. Your position is marked on the screen with the boat icon. You
can change the shape of the boat icon to match that of your ship.
The points and routes you have entered are shown on the screen. You can move, de-
lete and edit the points and routes from a pop-up menu.
The chart plotter also
• Plots the track of your ship
• Measures distances and bearings
• Marks man overboard (MOB) position
• Controls alarm functions
