Resetting the Individual Selection of Display Groups
The selection for the display groups are stored, i.e. they remain
in effect even after switch-over of the category (in contrast to the
CHARTPILOT, because there this is not allowed by the ECDIS
regulations). However, the groupings can also be reset to the
IMO-defined values by switching over.
Click on the CATEGORY button and again select the category
that is still selected.
Switching Names, Designations and Texts On/Off
Because of the particular importance of the display group "Text
Labels", it can be switched on and off directly in the CHART
menu by means of the TEXT LABELS button.
☞ In this way, the text labels of all objects of the vector chart and of the User Chart Objects are
switched on/off.
Optimum Setting for Radar Video Observation with the Electronic Chart Switched On
- Display of the area contours only.
- Setting the symbol presentation to SIMPLIFIED.
- Displaying only the necessary objects (category "Base" is recommended).
- Switching on the display of the necessary depth-contours only (on the CHARTPILOT) (i.e. possibly
suppressing Shallow Contour and Depth Contour).
- The Grey Mode (see page 21) might produce an improvement in the display.
3.12 Setting the Display of the Map
It is possible to display a map which was edited previously on this radar indicator (according to Section
12) or which was transferred from another item of equipment in the system (according to Section 22.5).
Display of the map takes place as an alternative to display of the Electronic Chart. On the CHAR-
TRADAR, for this purpose, it is necessary to switch over to Radar Display Mode.
The map can contain not only lines (for land contours, channel limits etc.) but also various symbols (for
buoys, lights etc.). The symbols used are listed in Section 12. The symbols can be displayed either in
outline mode, in paper chart mode or in simplified mode, whichever is selected.
Switching the Display of the Map On and Off
If there is a CHARTPILOT connected, switch over to Radar
Display Mode, e.g. by means of the RADAR MODE key.
Click on the MAP button and then on the VISIBLE button
☞ When the map is switched on, all objects which exist in
the map contained in the radar system and are situated in
the display area of the PPI are displayed.
