Page 25 ECDIS Operator Manual Raytheon Anschütz GmbH Germany INTRODUCTION ECDIS is an integrated software controlled navigation system with advanced electronic chart capabilities including: − route planing − route monitoring − ground monitoring It enables a navigator to conveniently do all navigational routines which are cur- rently done on paper charts.
Page 26 Operator Manual Types Of Charts ECDIS displays the type and scale of the displayed chart in the information panel. As you change the scale of the display, or center the display on other areas, the type of the chart being displayed may change, indicating that ECDIS is displaying a more appropriate chart.

Since the S57 (93/3) format is not suitable for data processing, the ECDIS shall convert the ENC into a different format (usually binary and more compact than S57(93/3)), called the SENC (System ENC) format.
Page 28 Operator Manual • RENCs do not deliver ENCs directly to ships. RENC customers are commercial chart data distributors who − in analogy to paper chart distribution − tailor individual sets of chart data for the special needs of a shipping company or a particular ship. To date, two RENCs −...
