Electronic charts
The electronic navigational charts, ENC or C-MAP vector format, are displayed in the
electronic chart area.
The chart radar combines chart and navigational information. It should be noted that
modern navigation systems (e.g., differential GPS) may offer more accurate position-
ing than what was used to position some of the surveys from which the electronic nav-
igational chart was derived.
This chart radar is compatible with S57 release 3 ENC format charts. ENC charts are
converted to SENC for use with the chart radar.
When you open a chart, it is displayed with the default scale, called the compilation
scale. The details for the chart are displayed in the electronic chart area and these can
be modified. You can change the chart scale with the ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT func-
tions, and the scale range is 1:1,000 - 1:70,000,000.
C-MAP vector format
The C-MAP charts require a contract with applicable provider. This unit supports three
types of C-MAP charts, ENC SERVICE, PROFESSIONAL+, and C-MAP ENC SER-
VICE. The C-MAP ENC SERVICE charts are compatible with IHO S-57 Ed. 3. ENC
data improves the safety of navigation. For details, contact C-MAP.
Note: Some eToken dongles from the FEA-2xx7 can be used with this system. These
are labeled "JeT FURUNO XXXXX". Contact your dealer for details.
This chart radar accepts the following C-MAP chart types: C-MAP ENC SERVICE, C-
MAP PROFESSIONAL+, C-MAP ENC+ SERVICE.
C-MAP ENC+ SERVICE charts comply with the IHO's (International Hydrographic Or-
ganization's) S-57 Edition 3 product specification. When used in the chart radar, the
ENC data improves the safety of navigation at sea.
