ARCS Overview

ARCS

By default, ECDIS displays charts in a chart-by-chart mode. However the option
mode is available making it possible to display the active ARCS chart together with adjacent
charts in a seamless way.
ARCS charts are scanned copies of paper charts. A displayed ARCS chart includes the same
information as appears on the copied paper chart. Source information about each chart is
accessible from the dialogue ARCS Properties.
