OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

2.1

ECDIS Display

The ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems) screen is divided into
several areas, as illustrated below. The ECDIS operational area has no limitations.
That is, high latitudes (85° and higher) are correctly displayed always. The ECDIS
uses "cylindrical equidistant" projection for areas of high latitude and small chart
scales. All other conditions use the "orthographic" presentation.
