Chart Object Information - Raymarine E Series User Reference Handbook

6.10 Chart object information

You can display additional information on the chart for cartographic
objects, ports, and marinas.
You can also search for the nearest instance of a particular chart
object and search for ports by name.
Depending on the chart card you are using, you can view some or
all of the following additional information:
• Details of each cartographic object that is marked on the chart,
including source data for structures, lines, open sea areas, and
so on.
• Details of ports, port features, and business services.
• Pilot book information (similar to what you would see in a marine
almanac). Pilot book information is available at certain ports.
• Panoramic photos of ports and marinas. The availability of photos
is indicated by a camera symbol on the chart display.
There are 2 main ways of accessing object information:
• At any time — by pressing the OK button. This provides a list of
chart objects, and access to the FIND NEAREST and SEARCH
BY NAME softkeys.
• Using an object on the screen — placing the cursor over the
object and pressing OK provides information specific to that
object, and access to the FIND NEAREST and SEARCH BY
NAME options.
Note: The amount of object information available depends upon
the electronic charts that you are using for your system. For full
details of the features available for your chart cards contact your
chart card supplier.
