Electronic charts
The electronic navigational charts, S57ed3 ENC or CM-93 vector format, are dis-
played in the electronic chart area.
The chart radar combines chart and navigational information. It should be noted that
modern navigation systems (e.g., differential GPS) may offer more accurate position-
ing than what was used to position some of the surveys from which the electronic nav-
igational chart was derived.
This chart radar is compatible with S57 release 3 ENC format charts. ENC charts are
converted to SENC for use with the chart radar.
When you open a chart, it is displayed with the default scale, called the compilation
scale. The details for the chart are displayed in the electronic chart area and these can
be modified. You can change the chart scale with the ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT func-
tions, and the scale range is 1:1,000 - 1:70,000,000.
CM-93 vector format
The CM-93 charts require a contract with applicable provider. These charts are from
a private source and they cannot be used as a substitute for paper charts under any
condition. To emphasize this point these charts are called "Non-ENC" charts in this
manual. Note that some eToken dongles from the FEA-2xx7 can be used. These are
labeled "JeT FURUNO XXXXX".
This chart radar accepts the following C-MAP chart types: CM-ENC, Professional,
Profes and Jeppesen Primary ECDIS Service.
C-MAP produced official ENC chart that complies with the IHO's (International Hydro-
graphic Organization's) S-57 Edition 3 product specification. When used in the chart
radar, the ENC data improves the safety of navigation at sea.
