Display of S57 chart on ECDIS screen
ARCS raster format:
ARCS charts are digital reproductions of British Admiralty (BA) paper charts. They retain the same standards of
accuracy, reliability and clarity as paper charts.
Zooming into the ARCS chart can be useful for magnifying complex detail, but decreases the density of data
displayed, and can give a false impression of distance from danger. Therefore it is possible to zoom 2*original paper
chart's scale or ½*original paper chart's scale.
