Objects
The ability to cursor-select an object to find additional information about the object is an important function of the
ECDIS. However, an unprocessed cursor selection, which does not discriminate or interpret and merely dumps on
the interface panel all the information available at that point on the display, will normally result in pages of unsorted
and barely intelligible attribute information.

How to set visible vector chart features

The request for information about S57 chart objects is given only to objects that are selected for display by the user.
For details, see section 8.9.4 "How to control visible chart features".
8.13.2

How to select desired object from the list of found objects

To specify desired SENC and object for information request, do the following:
1. Put the cursor on object desired.
2. Push the scrollwheel. Two windows appear: Objects by Cell and Object.
3. Use the Objects by Cell window to select desired chart cell and desired object from which you need
information. If there are different navigation purpose S57 charts over the area where you are making an
information request, you can select desired S57 chart cell from the Cell window. A list of S57 chart cells is
displayed in the Cell list box. Select desired S57 chart cell from the list.
4. Select desired object from the Objects in display priority order list box. Selected object on the chart is shown
with mark showing information in the Object window.
