Changing its name prevents it being overwritten by a new Quick Route. Erasing a route You can delete any route in your system except for the one that you are following. When you erase a route the system deletes only those waypoints created with this particular route. Waypoints that have been created separately or are used in other routes are not deleted. To erase a route: ERASE ROUTE YES D8379-1 1. Select the appropriate route for editing (see page 80). 2. Erase the track or route: You can also erase all or selected routes, using the ARCHIVE & TRANSFER function as described on page 24. 86 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual 4.12 Monitoring where you are going ... using chart vectors You can display a variety of graphical indicators to help monitor where you are going: Note: Any vectors applied to a chart window that is set to system view, will be dis played in all other system view chart windows. Heading (HDG) and course over ground (COG) vectors Heading vector (HDG) D6772-2 Course over ground (COG) The ship’s heading (HDG) is displayed as a line with an open arrow head. It does not take account of winds or tides. The course over ground (COG) indicates the boat’s actual course and is displayed as a line with two open arrow heads. The length of these lines is determined by the distance your boat will travel in the time you have specified (3 mins, 6 mins or infinite) in the Chart Setup Menu (see page 103) at the current speed. Any times that you specify will apply to all chart views and if INFINITE is selected the vector will extend to the edge of the chart window. Note: If neither the speed over ground (SOG) or heading are available, vectors cannot be displayed. Wind and tide arrows Wind arrow D6773_2 Tide arrow Winds and tides are displayed as lines with solid arrow heads in the direction of the wind or tidal set. Winds arrows point into your boat and tidal arrows point away. The width of the arrow indicates its strength. To switch graphical indicators on/off: WIND ARROW ON OFF COG VECTOR ON OFF HDG VECTOR ON OFF CHART VECTORS D6548-2 DATA TIDE ARROW ON OFF Chapter 4: Using the Chart 87 ... using the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) D6895-2 The CDI assists with accurately maintaining your course to your destination. A ‘rolling road’ in three dimensional perspective provides a realtime display of your boat’s course. See Chapter 12:Using the Course Deviation Indicator for more information. 4.13 Warnings of potential dangers When the appropriate equipment is installed and switched on, the following alarms will be triggered when you are in the chart application: • System alarms Anchor, Timer, Alarm clock and Temperature. • Navigation alarms Arrival and Off track. • Radar alarms Guard zones. • Fishfinder alarms. • AIS alarms. • Weather alarms. When an alarm is triggered, a buzzer sounds and a popup window describing the alarm and how to clear it is displayed. In some cases, the appropriate action is taken by the Chart. For example, following an arrival alarm, the next route leg is activated. To switch these alarms on/off and set the limits: MENU GPS Status... Compass Setup... System Setup... Alarm Setup...

Synchronizing the chart with radar range When synchronization is switched on: • The radar range in all radar windows, changes to match the chart scale. • ‘Sync’ is indicated in the top lefthand corner of the chart window. • If you change the radar range, in any radar window, all synchronized chart views change scale to match. • If you change the scale of a synchronized chart window, all radar windows change range to match. To set the radar range synchronization: CHART MODE AND ORIENTATION… CHART SYNC RDR D7578-3 PRESENTATION… Notes: (1) Radar range synchronization is not available when the chart motion mode is set to Autorange. (2) The 2D chart can be synchronized with either the 3D chart (see page 121) or the radar but not both. Viewing MARPA targets on the chart The Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) function is used for target tracking and risk analysis. Although set up in radar mode or radar overlay, all MARPA targets are displayed in the chart window and associated MARPA functions can be accessed via the chart. For detailed information on MARPA see page 167. To access the MARPA controls when you are in a chart application: On screen: Select the target with cursor Or: ACQUIRE TARGET With radar overlay on: MARPA OPTIONS...

A track is an onscreen trail that represents the course you have taken. This trail is made up of a series of track points which are created automatically. You can save the track to create a permanent record of where you have been. North-Up FIND SHIP (Relative Motion) GOTO… ROUTES… Local TRACKS… PRESENTATION… D6607_2 4nm Chapter 4: Using the Chart 91 How can I use tracks? Tracks can be used to: • Review where you have been. • Retrace your original journey by converting the track to a route and automatically reversing it. If required, a track can be personalized and the track options customized to your own particular needs. You can: • • • • Rename a track. Change the color of a track. Specify the time period between track point creation (see page 103). Specify the distance between each track point (see page 103). Creating a track To start a track... START TRACK Track laid from your boat D6500-2 TRACKS… If the power fails whilst a track is being recorded or the position fix is lost, a break will occur in the track. Only the last segment of a track can be converted into a route. If the maximum number of tracking points is reached, you will be warned. The track will continue to be recorded with the earlier tracking points being overwritten. To stop the track... Stop the tracking process: SAVE TRACK Or: STOP TRACK DISCARD TRACK Or: CANCEL STOP COMMAND D6501-3 TRACKS… 92 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual Creating a route from a track Creating a route from a track enables you to retrace the course of that track. When a track is converted the system creates the closest route through the recorded track, using the minimum number of waypoints. Each waypoint created will be saved with the depth and temperature data (if applicable) for that position. On completion, the maximum deviation of the route from the recorded track is displayed and the new route is added to the route list. It can now be displayed, edited and erased etc. in the same way as other routes in the system. D8366-1 Note: If a track break occurs, only the last segment is converted to a route. CAUTION: Before following the route, ensure that it is safe for navigation, noting that it may deviate from your actual path travelled. ... from the current track You can create a route from the track that you are currently laying. This method will take a ‘snapshot’ of the track to date, convert it to a route and then continue laying the track: 1.

Chapter 4: Using the Chart 95 4.17 Defining how the chart windows are presented Each chart window can be tailored to meet your particular needs. You can: • Set the chart view for individual windows or system wide (see below). • Change how the chart is orientated (see page 96). • Change the way your chart is drawn in relation to your boat movement (see page 97). Working with multiple chart views If you have more than one chart window, you can either share the presentation or present each window independently. The option you have chosen is indicated on the chart status bar as LOCAL or SYSTEM. The system view is shared across networked E Series displays. System chart view When a chart application is started it defaults to system view. Any windows set to system view will have the same presentation as other system windows for: • Chart mode and orientation. • Chart layers aerial, radar, 3D locator and AIS • Synchronization Radar/chart and 3D/chart. • Show/hide waypoints, routes and tracks. • Declutter. • Vectors. If you change any of these options in one window, ALL system windows will update. Local chart view When local chart view is selected the presentation for each window is set independently. Defining chart window presentation PRESENTATION CHART VIEW LOCAL SYSTEM D6586_3 To define how the chart windows are presented: Note: The motion mode will be set but not synchronized across windows when the chart view is set to system. 96 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual Setting the orientation of the chart The orientation of a chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction that you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see page 97) to control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The mode that you choose is restored at power up. Any changes that you make to a chart window that is set to system view will be reflected in all other system view chart windows. The following options are available: North Up (Nup) In North Up mode, the chart orientation is fixed with true north upwards. As your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly. This is the default mode for the chart application. Head Up (Hup) Head Up mode displays the chart with your boat’s current heading upwards. As the heading changes the boat symbol remains fixed and the chart picture rotates accord ingly. Notes: (1) To prevent continuous backwards and forwards rotations as the boat yaws from sidetoside, the chart will not update unless the heading changes by at least 10 degrees from the last displayed orientation. (2) It is not possible to select Head Up when the motion mode is set to True. Course Up (CUP) In Course Up mode, the chart picture is stabilized and shown with your current course upwards. As your boat’s heading changes, the ship symbol moves accordingly. If you select a new course, the picture will reset to display the new course upwards. The reference used for CourseUp depends upon the information available at a given time. The system always prioritizes this information in the following order.: 1. Bearing from origin to destination, i.e. intended course. 2. Locked heading from an Autopilot. 3. Bearing to waypoint. 4. Instantaneous heading. If heading data becomes unavailable whilst in this mode, a warning message will be shown and the chart uses 0° heading in relative motion. PRESENTATION… CHART MODE AND ORIENTATION… ORIENTATION H-UP N-UP C-UP D6511_2 To set the orientation of the chart: Chapter 4: Using the Chart 97 Setting the motion mode The motion mode controls the relationship between the chart and your boat. Whilst motion mode is active, as your boat moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the boat on screen. The three motion modes are: • Relative motion. • True motion. • Autorange. When you pan the chart or toggle FIND SHIP/CURSOR to CURSOR, the motion mode is suspended. This is indicated in the status bar by ‘( )’ around the motion mode and enables you to view another area of the chart whilst navigating. To reset the motion mode and return your boat to the screen, press FIND SHIP. Manually changing the range in autorange also suspends motion mode. PRESENTATION… CHART MODE AND ORIENTATION… MOTION MODE TM RM AR D6512-2 The default setting is relative motion with zero offset. The mode that you select is restored at power up. When a chart window is set to SYSTEM view the motion mode will be set but not synchronized across other system view windows. Relative motion (RM) with optional vessel offset When the motion mode is set to Relative, the position of your boat is fixed on the screen and the chart picture moves relative to your boat. You can specify using the VESSEL OFFSET soft key, whether the boat is fixed in the centre of the window (0 offset) or offset by 1/3 or 2/3. If you change the offset to 1/3 or 2/3, the view ahead of your boat will be increased. 0 Vessel offset 1/3 Vessel offset D6839_3 0 Vessel offset 98 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual True motion (TM) D6840_2 In the following example the motion mode has been set to Relative with a vessel offset of 1/3. The boat is fixed in the offset position and the chart moves accordingly: When the motion mode is set to True, the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen. As the boat’s position approaches the edge of the screen, the chart picture is automatically reset to reveal the area ahead of the boat. D6841-2 Note: It is not possible to select True Motion when the orientation is set to Head Up. Autorange Autorange selects and maintains the largest possible scale of chart that will display both the boat and the target waypoint. Autorange is not available if radarchart synchronization is on. 4.18 Altering the level of chart detail displayed The chart features that you need to see will vary according to your particular needs and circumstances. You can adjust this level of detail by showing/ hiding the following features: • • • • • • Range rings Waypoints. Waypoint index of a route. Individual routes and tracks. Cartographic features. Chart vectors for COG, heading, tide and wind (seepage 86) Note: You can also specify the level of detail on the chart display (simple, detailed or extra detailed). For more details, see page 106. Chapter 4: Using the Chart 99 Range rings Range rings give you an incremental representation of distance from your vessel to help you judge distances at a glance. The rings are always centred on your vessel, and the scale varies to suit your current zoom setting. Each ring is labelled with the distance from your vessel. To turn range rings on or off In the Chart application: 1. Press the PRESENTATION softkey. 2. Press the CHART LAYERS softkey. 3. Select RANGE RINGS ON/OFF. Navionics combined data cards Some Navionics data cards provide detailed bathymetric information in addition to standard chart information. You can choose between the standard chart view, or the view displaying bathymetric contours. To display bathymetric information In the Chart application: 1. Press the PRESENTATION softkey. 2. Press the CHART LAYERS softkey. 3. Press the CHART TYPE softkey to toggle between FISH and NAV options. • The FISH option displays bathymetric information. • The NAV option displays the standard chart view. If you select FISH and no data is available for your current position, the databar displays (FISH) to indicate that you are in that mode but without data. Showing or hiding waypoints/waypoint information The system has various options to control the display of waypoints and waypoint information. You can show or hide all your waypoints and their names or show or hide waypoints by group or by symbol. These options are particularly useful when you have placed a large number of waypoints in a small area and rendered your chart difficult to interpret. 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. 100 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual Show/hide by group/symbol You can show or hide waypoints with a particular symbol or belonging to a specified group: 1.

Chart Offset Moves the position of the chart in order to correct for position errors in the cartography. See below for further information. WGS 84 List of datum provided ON OFF Datum 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 WGS1984. If this is not suitable, you can change the setting. 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. CAUTION:* Changing the chart datum does not cause any waypoint or routes stored in the chartplotter to move on the display, although their latitude and longitude changes to reflect the new datum. When adding waypoints numerically to the waypoint list, or via SeaTalk or NMEA, it is important that they are referenced to the same datum to which the display is currently set. Chart Offset This feature allows you to move the position of the chart in order to correct for position errors in the cartography. This adjustment is indicated as a distance north/west (+ve) or south/east (ve) from your vessel position to a maximum of 1000m. To view the effects of an offset you can turn the feature on/off. Once calculated, the offset is applied to all charts. Chapter 4: Using the Chart 105 Important: Any offset entered will be applied to all charts on the chart card. You should therefore ensure that this feature is switched off once you have transitioned off of the errant chart. Any charting errors that you discover should be reported to Navionics (see page 272).

Chapter 5: 3D Chart 111 Chapter 5: 3D Chart 5.1 Important 3D Chart functionality To obtain the best results from the 3D cartography application you should make sure that your display is receiving accurate heading and position data from a suitable source and that you are using a chart card incorporating 3D cartography for the appropriate area. Safety The 3D chart is an aid to visualization. When navigating with your 3D chart you should also check your 2D chart and ensure that a route is safe. Until you are familiar with interpreting the 3D chart, 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 3D chart application, you read and understand Chapter 3:Working with Waypoints and Chapter 4:Using the Chart. CAUTION: The 3D application should not be used as a substitute for good navigational practice nor for official government paper charts. Do not use this application before you have read this chapter. 5.2 An introduction This chapter describes how to use your 3D chart and its various functions including: • • • • • • • • • Setting up your 3D chart (see page 123). Using the controls (see page 113). Setting the operation mode (see page 115). Changing the view point (see page 116). Rotating the selected view (see). Changing the pitch (seepage 114). Exaggerating the view (see page 118). Sychronizing the 3D and 2D chart (see page 121). If a transducer is fitted displaying the fishfinder cone area (see page 122). 112 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual 5.3 What can I use the 3D Chart Application for? 3D cartography introduces an easytouse chart format that provides you with a three dimensional graphical view of land and sea contours around your boat. Land masses are shown in green, the shade depending on the height above sea level. Water, the seabed and submerged objects are shown in varying shades of blue. Much of the information available on a conventional chart can be shown in three dimensions, giving you an accurate easytoview image of the area around your boat that can help you plan: • Fishing spots. • What fishing pattern to use. • Safe routes. If the area that you are in is new to you, or visibility is poor, 3D cartography can help to give you the confidence to know where you are and what is around you. As with a conventional chart, active waypoints and routes can also be shown on the 3D chart. 5.4 The 3D chart display Cartographic objects Select objects for display via the 3D Chart Setup menu. Mode Shows mode application is working iin. Waypoint With arrival circle Boat symbol Boat's position on chart. Select sail or power boat. Center-of-view White cross indicates center of chart view at sea level. Rotation Shows in degrees true, how far the on-screen view has been rotated from your boat's heading. Depth scale Approximate depth beneath your boat. North arrow 3D indication of True North in relation to the chart view. D8250_1 Range Horizontal distance across screen (halfway up the window or at center of view). Shown in selected system units. Chapter 5: 3D Chart 113 5.5 Where am I on the 3D chart? Your current position is represented by a boat. You can choose from a power boat or yacht. Or D8395_1 To change the style of vessel displayed, see page 123. If positional data has been selected for display (see page 224), your position will be displayed in the data bar under VES POS. Note: If neither heading nor COG data is available, the boat symbol is not displayed and the FIND SHIP soft key is greyed out. If you cannot see your boat: FIND SHIP 3D Chart redraws with boat in forward looking view at your current position To mark your current position: x2 OK (or wait 3 seconds) D8394_1 WPTS MOB Accepts default 5.6 Moving around the 3D chart The 3D chart is operated in a similar way to a 2D chart. To move around the 3D chart and display the area required at the appropriate scale and angle, use a combination of panning, zooming, rotating and pitching: Panning D8700_1 Panning moves the 3D chart that is displayed to a different area. To pan a 3D chart, press the appropriate arrow (left/ right, up/down) on the trackpad. Zooming in/out OUT RANGE D6585-1 IN D8236_1 Range OUT to show a larger area of the chart (approximately 8nm maximum). Range IN to show a smaller area of the chart. 114 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual Rotating and pitching Toggle control between the rotate and pitch functions.

D8053_2 5.7 Chapter 5: 3D Chart 115 5.8 Changing the mode You can choose to view the chart in one of two modes: • Active motion mode. • Planning mode. Active motion mode This is the default mode when you open the 3D application provided that there is a valid fix. The screen shows an aerial view of the 3D chart as if you are above your boat, slightly behind it and looking forward (virtual eye point). You can also view the chart from different positions relative to your boat see “View options” on page 116. As your boat moves forward the chart automatically updates and reveals the changing view ahead. Note: In active motion mode you can adjust the pitch when ADJUST ON is set to CEN TRE, but rotating or panning the chart will put it into planning mode. Planning mode Planning mode enables you to view an area of the chart, different to the one in which you are navigating, so that you can analyse locations and features. You can use the controls to view a particular area from different angles, bearings and ranges. The chart no longer automatically keeps your boat onscreen. When you are in planning mode, the controls and functions available are the same as for active motion mode. To enter planing mode: • Pan to the area of the chart that you want to view or • Turn the rotary control (except if set to CENTRE and ADJUST PITCH). Planning mode is indicated in the status bar by brackets around the mode information e.g. (FWD). D8737_1 Or To return to active motion mode 3D Chart redraws with boat in forward looking view at your current position D8724_1 FIND SHIP 116 Changing the view View options There are four view options that you can choose from Forward, Aft, Port and Starboard.

D8240_1 5.9 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual Chapter 5: 3D Chart 117 Multiple views You can display multiple 3D chart views by creating a page that shows 3D cartography in up to 4 windows. As each window is a separate application, they can be set up to operate in active motion mode or planning mode or a combination of the two. These can be views of: • The same area of the chart from different angles. • Views of up to 4 different areas of the chart. Note: For full details of page set up and “active” windows refer to page 17. D8252_1 Multiple 3D views Example: Four 3D application windows showing the same area of the chart but from 4 different angles. Vessel offset PRESENTATION… 3D VIEW OPTIONS... VESSEL OFFSET 1/3 2/3 D8239_1 You can specify whether the boat is fixed in the centre of the window (0 offset) or offset by 1/3 or 2/3 of the screen. If you change the offset to 1/3 or 2/3, the view ahead of your boat will be increased. 118 ESeries Networked Display Reference Manual 5.10 Aerial photo overlay Standard 3D image 3D image with aerial overlay D8848_1 You can overlay an aerial photo onto the 3D image. This will help you to interpret your environment and its features. Aerial photos 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. Aerial photo overlay is controlled via the 3D Chart Setup Menu. See page 123 for more details. 5.11 Making the view clearer You can make the view clearer using the following features: • Exaggeration. • Declutter. Exaggeration Sometimes it is easier to see certain topographical features if they are exaggerated. Adjusting the exaggeration has the effect of vertically stretching objects on the chart, making it easier to see their shape and position. This could be particularly helpful if you are fishing, for example.
