Chapter 2: Chart Application Updates

Chapter 2: Chart Application Updates
Updates to the Chart application allow you to view tide and current animations for a
24-hour period, set the display unit to overlay range rings on the chart view, and show
bathymetric data included on Navionics combined data cards.
This chapter tells you how to make use of the new Chart application features.
WARNING:Electronic charts are an aid to navigation designed to
facilitate the use of authorized government charts, not to replace
them. Only official government charts and notices to mariners
contain the current information needed for safe navigation. The
captain of the vessel is responsible for their prudent use. The C-Series
and its charts do not exclude the user from carrying the required
official charts and documents.

2.1 Animated tides and currents

You can set the date for the animation and choose to see the whole animation from the
beginning or start it at any point within the 24-hour period. You can also choose to
view the animation continuously or to step through it in increments of time you set.

In the Chart application:
1. Highlight a tide or current icon.
2. Press OK to open the Object Info dialog box and toolbar.
