How to Select the Chart Operating Mode

The ECDIS has three operating modes: Voyage navigation, Chart maintenance, and
Voyage planning. Select the mode from the Status bar with the [PLAN], [CHARTS]
and [NAVI] buttons. The background of the button of the active mode is blue.
Note: When switching between the Voyage navigation and Chart maintenance modes
it may take several minutes to read the chart when using C-MAP charts or there are
many charts installed.

How to Select the Chart Scale

When you open a chart it is displayed with the default scale, called the compilation
scale. To change the chart scale, do one of the procedures shown below. The scale
range is 1:1,000 to 1:70,000,000.
• Click the chart scale selection buttons in the Chart scale/presentation mode box.
• Right-click anywhere inside the Chart scale/presentation mode to show a drop-
down list of chart scales.
• Put the cursor anywhere on the chart and spin the scrollwheel.
Chart scale indication
Note: When the radar overlay is active the chart scale is shown in nautical miles (NM).
If a location in the chart area is available with more detail, the message "Larger scale
ENC available" appears. The status of TM reset determines the area that generates
the message. If TM reset is ON, the message appears if more detail is available at cur-
rent position. If TM reset if OFF, the message appears if more detail is available at the
cursor location.
