6 DISPLAY MENU
The ECDIS display is defined by the two values for scale and center.
Scale is the distance from the top to the bottom of the display and can be any
value from 1 NM to 3999 NM.
Center is simply the latitude and longitude coordinates that locate at the center
of the display. The display can be centered anywhere on ECDIS's
latitude/longitude grid, which means anywhere in the world.
You can control the scale and center of the display by zooming in or out, or by
specifying a new scale and center. You can save display settings (called "areas")
so that at anytime you can return to it. In addition, you can use the Ship Auto
Center feature or the directional keys to scroll the display and ensure that your
ship is always in view. The information panel to the right of the display area
shows the display scale in the chart information area. To determine the display
center, either position the cursor at the center of the display, then refer to the
status bar for the cursor's coordinates, or choose the Scale and Center
command in the Display menu and look at the coordinates in the center box.
