3.11.8 Grounding alarm (C-MAP specification)

The grounding alarm feature continuously scans the electronic chart data in front of the boat to detect charted rocks, shoals, obstructions and land areas that could pose a threat if the vessel were to continue along its current course. The area searched is user-definable and is identified by a red triangle on the screen.

Note: This function only checks objects that appear on the chart and is therefore limited by the accuracy of the original source material from which the electronic charts where produced.
