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 chart plotter section has func-
tions to enter points, and create and plan routes.
The chart plotter receives position data fed from the built in GPS receiver (TZTL12F/
TZTL15F), or from the connected EPFS device (TZT2BB). Your position is marked on
the screen with the boat icon.
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

The status bar, common to all modes, alerts you to equipment status. The color of
both the bar and the status message change according to message category.
• Red bar, yellow characters: warning (alarm violation, equipment error, etc.)
• Yellow bar, black characters: caution (system message, etc.)
When an alert condition occurs, the equipment beeps (if enabled to do so), the name
of the alert appears in the bar, and the bar flashes. You can stop the flashing and si-
lence the beep by tapping the bar. The alert indication remains in the status bar until
the cause for the alert is removed.
The undo/redo icon has the following functions with points and routes.
• Undo icon: Reverse the last change done.
• Redo icon: Restore the undo action.
