to enable the VRM ring and adjust its size by rotating the knob so as to reach the range desired. To edit the values set, press the knob to switch from the VRM function to the EBL func- tion.

To insert a waypoint where the EBL and VRM intersect, press ENTER; to insert a marker, hold ENTER pressed.

Range and bearing values are displayed in the lower right- hand side of the screen, together with the indication of the function currently enabled.

Press CLR to disable the two functions in sequence.

The VRM ring can also be used to set the range for navigation from the coast, for example to avoid navigating out of the limit allowed. In this case, set the EBL to any value, adjust the VRM ring size as desired, then navigate making sure that at least one point in the ring is always touching the coast.

Easy Pilot function

The Easy Pilot function allows editing tempo- rarily a route set and followed by the autopilot, but keeping the route unchanged. This func- tion is useful to make corrections at once (e.g., because of other boats or to approach points of interests), without having to edit the route planned or disable the autopilot.

To enable this function, rotate the knob and position the EBL on the new route to follow, then press ENTER. The EBL will change color, as the boat starts following the new route; the planned route will be abandoned, although dis- played. To go back to the planned route, thus canceling the temporary correction, press CLR.

NOTE: The Easy Pilot function can be enabled only if a route is present.

Navionics is a leading provider of electronic navigational charts and marine mapping solutions, renowned for its innovative products that enhance the boating experience. Among its extensive range of cartographic offerings, the Navionics 11C and 10C chartpacks stand out, providing detailed and user-friendly marine navigation options suitable for both recreational and commercial boaters.

The Navionics 11C chartpack covers a comprehensive range of geographical areas, including parts of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, while the 10C chartpack focuses primarily on regions within the Caribbean and parts of Central America. Both chartpacks are designed to enhance safety and navigation efficiency by offering detailed nautical information.

One of the main features of Navionics 11C and 10C is the High-Definition Contour Mapping technology. This feature provides detailed depth contours and high-resolution bathymetric data, allowing boaters to better understand the underwater terrain and identify safe routes. This is crucial in avoiding hazards like shallow areas and submerged objects, thus enhancing overall safety during navigation.

Another standout characteristic is the SonarChart feature, which allows users to create personalized bathymetric maps based on sonar logs. This means that boaters can continuously update their charts using their own data, ensuring that the information remains current and relevant. It’s an essential tool for those who frequently navigate the same waters, as it includes depth shading to show steepness.

Moreover, both chartpacks offer a range of additional data layers, such as navigational aids, anchorages, marinas, and restricted areas. The incorporation of diverse information helps boaters make informed decisions while navigating. The intuitive interface and zoom capabilities facilitate a seamless navigation experience, while the compatibility with various devices, including plotters and mobile tablets, enhances accessibility.

The updates are another vital aspect of the Navionics offerings. Users can benefit from regular updates, which ensure that charts remain accurate with real-time data changes, such as new depths, buoy placements, and other navigational information.

In summary, the Navionics 11C and 10C chartpacks combine advanced technology with user-friendly features, creating a comprehensive resource for safe and efficient marine navigation. The combination of High-Definition Contour Mapping, the innovative SonarChart feature, and rich data layers make them invaluable tools for any boater looking to enhance their maritime adventures.
