Page 46 2. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW ARCS raster format ARCS charts are digital reproductions of British Admiralty (BA) paper charts. They re- tain the same standards of accuracy, reliability and clarity as paper charts. Zooming into the ARCS chart can be useful for magnifying a complex detail, however this decreases the density of the data displayed, and can give a false impression of the distance from danger.

10. USER CHARTS 10.1 Introduction User charts are overlays that the user creates to indicate safety-related objects and areas. They can be displayed on both the radar overlay and the electronic chart. These charts are intended for pointing out safety-related items like position of import- ant navigation marks, safe area for the ship, etc.
