Chart Alert Function

The chart alert function operates in both the chart radar mode and the ECDIS mode. There are two types of chart
alerts: your ship's predicted course, and route alert. For details see Chapter 9 Chart Alerts.
For the ship's predicted course alert, the operator sets a safety contour (see section 9.1.1 Choosing safety contour) to
select safety depth suitable for the ship. The operator also sets the parameters for own ship predicted movement (see
section 9.3 Activating Own Ship Check).
For the route alert, route planning (see section 9.4 Route Planning) and route monitoring (see section 9.5 Route
Monitoring) functions are available.
Note that if you change from "chart radar" mode or "ECDIS" to "radar" mode, the chart alert feature is automatically
switched off by the system.
