Viewing different ARCS charts
Choosing a chart from ARCS catalogue
You may use the ARCS Catalogue to display an ARCS format chart.
1.
Open the Chart menu.
2.
Choose Chart Catalogue from the menu.
3.
From the ARCS Catalogue dialog box, activate desired chart. For more information, see paragraph 9.4.12
"ARCS Catalogue".
4.
Click the Open button.
Indication of availability of alternative charts such as S57 (ENC) or other suitable ARCS
chart
The system has several indications to alert you to availability of charts. The indication is based on information
available from position of own ship if automatic TM reset is active, or from current position of cursor if automatic
TM reset is off.
•
Larger RNC: Larger ARCS scale is available.
•
Equal RNC: Same scale ARCS scale is available.
•
Larger ENC: Larger ENC compilation scale is available.
•
Eq ENC: Same ENC compilation scale is available.
•
Smaller ENC: Smaller ENC compilation scale is available.
Note: When using ARCS, the system also recognises if ENCs are available over the specified area and indicates it
with the texts shown above. This is important because under the current IMO rules only ENC charts can fully
replace the traditional paper charts.
Browsing your ARCS charts
You may view S57 charts using different positions and different scales. The basic tools for browsing charts are
Range -, Range+, Set Chart Center, ShipOffcenter and TM Reset.
Set Chart Center allows you to look ahead from a place other than own ship's current position. Choose Set Chart
Center from the Main menu to display the dialog box shown below. Use the scrollwheel to set the latitude and
longitude position for chart center and then click the Set Center button.
Note: The chart can also be centered (with less precise positioning) by placing the cursor at desired location,
displaying Set Chart Center/Info/Activate Scroll in the dialog box and pushing the left button.
To turn off automatic true motion reset, display and click TM Reset (in the guidance area). When true motion
reset is off, the indication "Ship off screen" appears in the information area.
To restore own ship's position to the screen center, display TM Reset/Info/ShipOffcenter in the guidance area
and then push the right button.
