Route planning
The operators can plan and determine the precise route with ease, while studying the chart data on the screen. A route can be altered in minute detail, and the changed route can be saved for later use.
Data display
When the cursor is placed upon any mark on the electronic chart, related information about the object such as a buoy, lighthouse, sunken vessel, etc., will be shown in the data cell. Additionally, other navigational information including both own ship’s navigational as well as other ship’s information from ARPA can also be presented.
Antigrounding
This function informs the operator beforehand of shallow coastal water and other sea conditions that could contribute to the ship going aground.
The information about the sea areas is acquired from the electronic chart and ship’s draft data is preset in own ship’s information so that possible strand can be avoided.
