Section 12 Automatic Sailing (Option)
When automatic sailing is performed, the operator must confirm the
safety of the route and the safety at crossing of a safety contour line.
Otherwise, an accident may occur.
When Auto Pilot is connected to this equipment, it is possible to calculate the course to steer from the
planned route and the own ship’s position and guide the ship automatically according to the planned
route by outputting the course to steer to Auto Pilot.
Note
The ECDIS screen cannot be terminated during automatic sailing.
Memo
For the details of the principle and setting of automatic sailing, refer to "18.13 Setting Automatic
Sailing Parameter Values".
For the details of the Auto Pilot operation, refer to the Auto Pilot Instruction Manual.

If your ship has reached a veering circle during the automatic navigation,
make sure that the safety check and veering operation are made by the
ship operator himself.
If veering operation is not made, regression bearing will be maintained
without veering. This may cause an accident.
Input the ship’s parameter accurately according to the specification of the
ship.
Otherwise, accidents may result.
Do not neglect confirmation of the position and the bearing of own ship
during sailing regardless of whether automatic sailing is set to ON or
OF F.
Otherwise, an accident may occur.

Section 14 Creating a User Map/
Updating a Chart
Manually
This section describes the procedures for creating a user map and updating a chart manually.
User map
A user specific map can be created by drawing various objects (symbol, line, area, and text) that are
not displayed on the existing chart. The created user map can also be updated by editing.
A user map can be displayed by overlapping on a chart. A user map can be created by merging two
user maps.
The following diagrams show how to use user maps.
Example: User maps 1 and 2 are merged and displayed on a chart by overlaying.
Multiple user maps

Section 14 Creating a User Map/ Updating a Chart Manually 14-2
Manual Update (ECDIS screen only)
A chart can be updated manually by creating objects (symbols, lines, areas, and texts) on the
specifying chart.
In the manually updated chart, objects are linked to the chart itself, unlike user maps. Therefore,
although the manually updated objects can be hidden, they cannot be deleted easily.
For the details of hiding objects, refer to "14.4.1 Deleting or hiding an object".

14.4 How to Use the Map Creation Tools
(for Manual Update)
At chart manual update also, use the same map creation tools in the same way as that of user map
creation. (Refer to "14.2 Using Map Creation Tools (User Map Creation/Editing)"). However, there
are the following differences in the map creation tools
• The user map information bar is not displayed.
• The object that is saved cannot be deleted by the eraser tool (can be hidden).
• A Mariner's Mark/Line drawing object cannot be selected with the drawing tool.
• More icon types can be selected in the drawing tool.
When the chart is updated manually, "Update" is displayed on the Write tool button.
Note
At chart manual update, the bearing reference mode is fixed to [N UP] mode.
14.4.1 Deleting or hiding an object
1 Click on the eraser tool button.
The cursor changes to the eraser cursor.
2 Place the eraser cursor on the object and click the button.
At manual update, only pre-saved objects can be deleted by the eraser tool.
If the saved object is clicked on with the eraser tool, the object is hidden. All the property screens of the
object that has been set to hide are displayed as disable and cannot be edited.
The object that is created and saved by manual update can be redisplayed unless deleted even if it is
hidden.
If the chart that uses the hidden object is updated, the expiration date of the object is set (90 days from
the date on which the object is created).
The object will be deleted after the expiration date.
Also, the object property dialog box setting can be changed by using the Mark/Line List submenu.
For the details, refer to "14.7.4 Displaying a manual update list (ECDIS screen only)".
