4.2 What can I use the chart application for?
Once the heading and position data is available you can use your chart to:
• Find out where you are.
• Interpret your surroundings.
• Measure the distance and bearing between two points.
• Place waypoints at specific locations.
• Navigate to a specific point.
• Build and follow a route.
• Monitor where you are going.
• Distinguish between fixed and moving objects (radar overlay).
• Record where you have been.
• Manage and edit routes and tracks.
Facilities are also provided to customize your chart application to your own particular
requirements and circumstances. You can:
• Alter the way the chart is drawn in relation to your boat and the direction you are
travelling in (chart orientation and motion mode).
• Manage and edit chart data you have entered.
• Control the level of detail displayed on-screen.
4.3 Viewing the chart
You will normally view your chart with the vessel on screen and motion mode ‘active’.
When motion mode is active, as your vessel moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the
vessel on screen. When you zoom the chart in active mode, the chart zooms about your
vessel position.
Alternatively, you may be planning a journey and do not want the chart to redraw as
your vessel moves. You can suspend the active motion mode by using the cursor to pan
the chart (see
page 4-4
).
When motion mode is suspended, the mode is shown in the status bar in parenthesis
e.g. (RELATIVE MOTION); zoom operates about your cursor position.
You can always activate the motion mode, by pressing FIND SHIP.
