Grounding Alarm is active, the chart plotter scans an area in front of the boat. This area is
identified by a triangle drawn in front of the boat icon whose direction is determined by the
current boat heading. The length of the triangle is user selectable and its angle is 30 degrees.
If any of the above objects are found, the chart plotter notifies the danger on a dedicated
warning message box in the Grounding Alarm Report page. The Grounding Alarm is
