ECDIS processor displays electronic seachart and operates as user interface.
ECDIS processor is connected to various sensors, does navigation calculations and route monitoring. Connections to
interfaces are typically made with serial communication lines.
ECDIS processor can be used for both route planning and route monitoring. If required, there can be an additional
