Overview

The ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems) screen is divided into several areas. The Status
bar, which is always shown at the top of the screen, mainly displays equipment status.
The boxes at the right side of the screen comprise the Information areas. They are permanently displayed and show
information such as own ship position, alarms generated by the system, workstation mode and cursor position. The
operator may display the data of his or her choice in one of the information areas called a Sidebar. (See section
3.3.2.) The bottom block in the information area is the Mouse functions area, and it shows the current left button,
thumbwheel and right functions, in that order from left to right.
7/8 of the ECDIS display is taken up by the Electronic chart area.
