2.6 Using Chart Cards

The RayChart has a built-in world map. Most areas are covered on a
scale of about 500nm per inch on the screen (200nm per cm), although
some populated areas have details down to 20nm or even 10nm per
inch on the screen. The RayChart displays a scale indicator on the
screen for all chart displays.
For safer navigation, you will need to use larger scale charts with
detailed information. These are available using C-MAP NT electronic
chart cards (C-Cards), each of which can store as many as 20 charts in
an electronic format. A C-MAP chart normally provides as much
information as is available in paper charts for that geographic area, with
detail up to 0.05nm per inch.
The RayChart allows you to install two chart cards at the same time, if
required. You can also use the slots for C-MAP Memory C-Cards, which
allow you to store and retrieve data such as waypoints and routes.
Note: You can insert and remove cards while a chart is displayed. The
previous information is retained until the RayChart redraws the screen:
for example, it will do this if you scroll some way outside the current
area, or use the RANGE key to change the chart scale.
