The electronic chart used by the Northstar 8000i is an aid to navigation designed to supplement, not replace, official government charts. Only official government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the electronic information provided by the Northstar 8000i with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings,

radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree, the

discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.
