Browsing your charts
You may view S57 charts using different positions and different scales. The basic tools for browsing charts are
Range -, Range+, Set Chart Center, ShipOffcenter and TM Reset.
Set Chart Center allows you to look ahead from a place other than own ship's current position. Choose Set Chart
Center from the Main menu to display the dialog box shown below. Use the scrollwheel to set the latitude and
longitude position for chart center and then click the Set Center button.
Note: The chart can also be centered (with less precise positioning) by placing the cursor at desired location,
displaying Set Chart Center/Info/Activate Scroll in the dialog box and pushing the left button.
To turn off automatic true motion reset, display and click TM Reset (in the guidance area). When true motion
reset is off, the indication "Ship off screen" appears in the information area.
To restore own ship's position to the screen center, display TM Reset/Info/ShipOffcenter in the guidance area
and then push the right button.
Range - and Range+ change the chart scale. If true motion reset is active, ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT keep the
relative position of the own ship with respect to the display. If true motion reset is on, ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT
keep the relative position pointed by the cursor with respect to the display.
The system automatically chooses next larger or smaller scale. If a chart with larger compilation scale is available at
your current viewing position, the message "Larger Scale Data Exists" appears.
