7. Conditions Required to Replace Paper Charts How to Detect ENC Coverage in S57 Chart Display The electronic chart system can display more than one S57 chart cell at a time. This feature is called multi-cell display. If one S57 chart cell does not cover the whole display, the system opens more S57 chart cells for display, if appropriate cells for the displayed area are available.
Page 63: Vector Chart Material
Vector Chart Material Introduction Theoretically a chart can be coded for use on a computer as raster or vector chart. Vector-coded charts are coded using a variety of techniques. One technique is called S57ed3 and it has been selected by IMO as the only alternative for SOLAS compliant electronic charts.
Page 64 8. Vector Chart Material Each S57 chart may contain additional links to textual descriptions or pictures, besides the chart itself. Typically additional textual descriptions and pictures contain important sailing directions, tidal tables and other traditional paper chart features that do not have any other method to be included into the S57 chart. This ECDIS copies these textual descriptions and pictures into its hard disk so the user may cursor-pick them for viewing purposes.

For most of the ARCS charts this is known and the system can do the conversion automatically. For some ARCS chart, however, this is unknown and the operator must define the shift.
Page 164 9. Raster Chart Material WGS shift is not defined for this chart. Latitude and longitude positions of the cursor, routes, user charts, Notes, etc. may not be correctly displayed on the current ARCS chart. You can use WGS shift to define correct transformation from WGS-84 co- ordinates to local datum of the current ARCS chart.

Page 404: Positioning Devices And Datum
26. Datum 26.4 Positioning Devices and Datum In early days of electronic positioning devices, datums received little attention because the commonly used systems utilised special charts (like Decca charts). Later on, data output was added to these systems, but still no attention was paid to datums and the position errors were considered as an inaccuracy of the system.

Appendix 5: C-MAP CM-93/2 Charts A5.2 How to Manage C-MAP charts A5.2.1 Licensing system used by the C-MAP The licensing system used with C-MAP is based on serial numbered CD-ROMs and authorisation codes received from C-MAP Norway A/S. You select either required C-MAP areas or zones and your electronic chart system generates a operator code based on your selection, the serial number of the serial numbered C-MAP CD-ROM and the hardware identifier of your electronic chart system.
Page 549 Appendix 5: C-MAP CM-93/2 Charts How to load serial number of CD-ROM Each CD-ROM has an individual serial number that is used to identify the operator of C-MAP charts. In order to load the serial number into the ECDIS, do the following: 1.
Page 550 Appendix 5: C-MAP CM-93/2 Charts How to define subscription by zones The contents of the CD-ROM are divided into nine zones (1/0 - 9/0) and each zone has been divided in various numbers of areas (1/1 - 1/16…9/1 - 9/2). A various number of charts are included into each area. You can specify the charts you want to have in your chart folio either by zones or by areas.
