CAUTION:
It is possible to move waypoints that are used in routes. In such instances, the
stored route will include the Waypoint in its new position. Ensure that this
does not present a navigation hazard.
Erasing a waypoint(s)
You can erase any waypoint on the system (including groups of waypoints) except:
• The active waypoint or
• Any waypoint used in a route.
Notes: (1) If a route is hidden its waypoints can still be displayed. If you attempt to
erase a waypoint from a hidden route, a warning message will be dis
played.

Organising waypoints into groups
Provided that you have not changed the default group, all waypoints are automatically
placed in the default “My Waypoints” group when they are created. In order to make
your waypoints easier to manage, you can organize them into groups of your choice.
When fishing, for example, you may only wish to see the waypoints that indicate good
fishing sites. Other waypoints, say, for racing, would be superfluous at this time.
Note: A waypoint cannot be placed in multiple groups

Erasing a group
You can erase any waypoint group from the system except the group containing the
active waypoint.
When a waypoint group is erased, the group name together with all of the waypoints
in that group are erased from the system with the exception of:
• ‘My Waypoints’  the waypoints contained within this group are deleted but the
group name remains.
• Waypoints used in routes within your system.
You should therefore ensure that any individual waypoints that you want to keep
(which are not part of a route), are moved before their group is erased.
1. Display the group list (see page 42).
2. Select and erase the group:

Controlling waypoint display
When you have placed many waypoints on your system, it may become difficult to
easily interpret chart or radar information. This is particularly the case if you have many
waypoints in a small area. There are a number of ways that you can control the display
of waypoints and waypoint information in chart and radar windows. These are:
•
•
•
•
Show or hide all of the waypoint names.
Show or hide waypoints with a particular symbol.
Show or hide waypoints belonging to a specific group.
Show or hide the index of a waypoint within a route (chart only see page 95).
Note: The show/hide status of a waypoint is a local setting and will therefore only af
fect the individual display on which you are working.

4.1 Important
Navionics support
In addition to Gold and Platinum, the ESeries now supports the following Navionics
cartography:
• Silver
• Gold Plus
• HotMaps USA
• HotMaps Premium
• Fish ‘N Chip
For more information on Navionics charts, see www.navionics.com.
Safety
When using your chartplotter you should always check that a route is safe. Zoom in to
check for hazards, such as small shoals, that may not be shown on a smaller scale
chart.
Until you are familiar with interpreting the chart display, you should take every
opportunity to compare the displayed objects with visual targets, such as buoys and
coastal structures. You should practice harbour and coastal navigation during daylight
and in clear weather conditions. The simulator mode can also be used to help you gain
experience.
It is strongly recommended that before you use your chart application, that you read
and understand Chapter 3:Working with Waypoints.
CAUTION:
The equipment should not be used as a substitute for good navigational
practice nor for official government paper charts. Do not use the chart before
you have read this chapter.
Chart functionality
1. To access full functionality, your chart application requires position and heading
data from your boat’s Global Positioning System (GPS).
2. Your ESeries Display has a built in world map, but to use your Display as a naviga
tion aid, you will need detailed information for the area you wish to navigate. This
information comes in the form of a chart card and is available from Navionics (see
the Important Information section at the front of this manual for details). For full
information on installing and removing chart cards refer to page 20. If you have a
48
ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual
network of ESeries Displays, the chart card data is accessible from any Display
on the network, provided that the unit with the card is powered on. Data from
more than one chart card can be shown simultaneously.
3. For your GPS and chart to correlate accurately with your paper charts, they will
need to be using the same datum. The default datum for your display is WGS84. If
this is not suitable, you can change the setting via the Chart Setup menu (see
page 104). When you adjust the datum of the ESeries Display, a Raymarine GPS
will automatically correlate. If you have a third party GPS, you will need to correlate
this separately.
4. For the Automatic Identification System (AIS) to function you should have a suit
able AIS receiver connected.
Chart cards
To use your ESeries Display as a navigation aid, charts with the appropriate level of
detail for the geographic area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are
available in electronic format on Navionics Chart cards.
To check the current availability of Navionics® chart card types and the latest feature
sets, visit www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it.
To obtain Navionics cards, contact your local dealer or visit the Navionics web site.
Alternatively, anywhere in North America call Navionics tollfree on 18008485896
Outside of North America, contact your local dealer or Navionics SpA on:
Phone: (+39) 0584 961696 or Fax: (+39) 0584 961309).
When archiving data, Raymarine recommends that you only use SanDisk brand CF
memory cards. Other brands of CF memory cards may not work in your ESeries
Display.

• View AIS data (see page 66).
Facilities are also provided to customize your chart application to your own particular
requirements and circumstances. You can:
• Alter the way the chart is drawn in relation to your boat and the direction you are
travelling in (chart orientation and motion mode).
• Manage and edit chart data you have entered.
• Control the level of detail displayed onscreen.
Note: To change the data displayed in the data bar at the top /side of the screen,
please refer to page 277.

Viewing the chart
You will normally view your chart with the vessel on screen and motion mode ‘active’.
When motion mode is active, as your vessel moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the
vessel on screen. When you zoom the chart in active mode, the chart zooms about your
vessel position.
Alternatively, you may be planning a journey and do not want the chart to redraw as
your vessel moves. You can suspend the active motion mode by using the cursor to pan
the chart (see page 51) or by selecting FIND CURSOR.
When motion mode is suspended, the mode is shown in the status bar in parenthesis
e.g. (RELATIVE MOTION); zoom operates about your cursor position.
Provided the necessary data to ascertain your vessel’s position is available, you can
activate the motion mode, by selecting FIND SHIP.

When you zoom in, the chart scale changes to show a smaller area in more
detail. Conversely, if you zoom out the chart area displayed is increased
but the detail is reduced.
Note: The cartographic detail available on charts varies according to the chart and the
chart scale. Some areas provide detail at smaller scales than others.
52
ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual
A feature of the chart is ‘autoscale’. If you select a chart scale that does not have
cartographic detail in some areas, the chart will use the most detailed level available
for the surrounding area and stretch it to fit the selected scale. This means that you will
never have blank or hatched areas on your screen. However there may be some mis
alignment of objects which cross the chart boundary in this area.

Displaying an aerial photo overlay
If you are using a suitable chart card, the aerial photo overlay feature can be applied to
individual chart windows and will help you to interpret your environment and its
features. They cover the navigable waters up to 3 miles inside the coastline. Beyond
these limits the land will appear green (color charts) and grey (black and white charts).
The level of resolution and the availability of a colored overlay is dependent on the
region covered by the chart card.
Note: If an aerial photo overlay is applied to a chart window that is set to system view,
the overlay will be displayed in all other system view chart windows.

Navigating to a specific point
You can use your chart to navigate to a specific point marked by the cursor (temporary
waypoint) or to a waypoint. If required you can display the largest chart scale possible
that will display both your boat and the target waypoint. When you navigate to a
waypoint or to the cursor position, the data is sent on NMEA 0183 and SeaTalk and can
be used by an autopilot, if connected. On arrival at the specified point a message is
displayed and an alarm sounds.
When you are steering manually, you can also use the chart to determine the bearing
or direction to steer.
Note: If you are currently navigating a route or going to the cursor /waypoint, you
must press STOP GOTO, before the system can commence a new GOTO request.

This section describes how to use routes and includes the following:
• What is a route?
• What can I do with a route?
• Building and saving a route.
• Following a route.
• Viewing details of routes.
Once created you have the option to view a route’s details, amend its course, edit its
name and color or erase it.
All route options can be accessed via the ROUTES soft key.
What is a route?
A route is a series of waypoints used to navigate a course. A route is displayed on
screen as a series of waypoints linked by a line.

D8327_1
Waypoint
If you have a network of ESeries Displays, routes are shared across all the Displays.
What can I do with a route?
You can:
• Build a temporary route that you follow immediately (Quick Route). If you do not
rename a quick route, it will be overwritten and its waypoints deleted when a new
quick route is built.
• Build and save a route for later use, in which case the route is stored in the route list.
• Convert a track of your course into a route (see page 92).
72
ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual
Building a route
Routes can either be built on screen or via the waypoint list. A route consists of:
• New waypoints that you have specifically placed for that route Or:
• Existing waypoints that are already stored in the system Or:
• A combination of new and existing waypoints.
Note: A route can also be created from a track. See page 92 for details.
Up to 150 routes can be added to your system, each consisting of up to 50 waypoints.
As each waypoint is added, it is assigned an index number corresponding to its
position in the route and drawn on the chart using the currently specified symbol.
The following should be noted:
• When a route is being built it is not active and does not affect any current naviga
tion.
• You can include a waypoint more than once in a route, but the same waypoint can
not be placed consecutively.
• You can create a new route when the route list is full but on saving this, you will be
prompted to choose an existing route to overwrite.
• You cannot save a new route if any of the waypoints within it are currently active.
• The way in which the OK and CANCEL buttons operate is different when you are
building and editing routes (see below).
Building a route on screen
You can build a route on screen that consists of either new or existing waypoints or a
combination of both.

Following a route
When you are following a route the active route is shown on all chart windows. On a
networked system, an active route is shown and can be controlled from all the displays.
When the distance to the next waypoint in the route is less than that specified for the
arrival alarm radius (see page 288), or your boat reaches the closest point of approach
to the target (defined by a line passing through the waypoint and perpendicular to the
route leg), a warning dialog is displayed and an alarm sounds (see page 69). Once the
alarm is acknowledged the next waypoint is selected, the display updates to indicate
the next leg of the route and the system sends the new navigation data to the
autopilot.
There are several ways to select the follow route option:
•
•
•
•
Using Quick Route.

Resetting cross track error (XTE)
When you are following a route or going to a waypoint, you can restart the XTE. This
results in a new course from the current vessel position to the current target waypoint.
Restarting XTE is useful if you find yourself off track and want to go straight to your
target, rather than get back onto the original track.
Although RESTART XTE causes your vessel to change course, it does not affect the
saved route.
