SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS CAUTION No one navigational aid should be relied exclusively for the safety of vessel and crew. The navigator has the responsibility to check all aids available to confirm position. Electronic aids are not a substitute for basic navigational principles and common sense. Digital charts cannot replace official nautical charts. Digital charts are intended as an aid to navigation. Position should always be checked against nautical charts, as well as other aids to navigation.

1. RADAR MAP A radar map is a combination map lines and symbols whereby the user can define and input the navigation data, route planning and monitoring data. The radar map has the capacity of 1,500 points of mark and line. The map data can be memorized to facilitate the repeated use on the routine navigation area. The user can create a radar map on-real time while using the radar for navigation or at leisure time at anchor or while the radar is not being used.
