Charts
The chart function displays your vessel’s position relative to land and other chart objects.
On the panel you can plan and navigate routes, place waypoints, overlay a radar image or
weather information, and display AIS targets.
The NSS has diff erent embedded cartography depending on region. Units sold in America will
include Insight cartography, while units sold in other regions will have embedded Navionics
coastal (Silver) cartography split by region. All units will support Navionics Platinum Plus and
TurboView via micro-SD Card slot accessible from the front of the unit.
Charts are shared over the network, so only one chart card per boat is required.
The fi rst part of this section describes how to use the charts, and is common to both Insight
and Navionics. Chart options depend on which cartography is in use on the unit. These are
covered in a separate section.

The vessel symbol
Position and orientation
When a GPS and a suitable heading sensor are connected to the system, the vessel symbol
indicates vessel position and heading.
Without a heading sensor fi tted, the vessel icon will orientate itself using COG (Course over
Ground). If no GPS is available the vessel symbol will include a question mark.
