12.12 Chart object information

You can display additional information on the chart for cartographic
objects, ports, and marinas.
You can also search for the nearest instance of a particular chart
object and search for ports by name.
Depending on the chart card you are using, you can view some or
all of the following additional information:
• Details of each cartographic object that is marked on the chart,
including source data for structures, lines, open sea areas, and
so on.
• Details of ports, port features, and business services.
• Pilot book information (similar to what you would see in a marine
almanac). Pilot book information is available at certain ports.
• Panoramic photos of ports and marinas. The availability of photos
is indicated by a camera symbol on the chart display.
This information can be accessed using the Chart Objects or Find
Nearest options from the chart context menu:
• Select a chart object on screen and choose Chart Objects from
the chart context menu to view information about the selected
object.
• Select Find Nearest from the chart context menu to search for
