How to load S57 charts from a CD-ROM, floppy or LAN
When you load S57 charts by CD Catalogue, the system first load a CD catalog, which stores certain information
into the hard disk such as cells ID, their position, edition number, from your LAN (Local Area Network) connection,
floppy or CD-ROM. After that the system asks which charts will be loaded from the selected media.
After building the CD catalogue you can view the contents of it using S57 catalogue command.
Note: All CD-ROMs, floppies or LAN (Local Area Network) connections from one single National Hydrographic
Office have equal names although their contents could be totally different. You can use your own unique names to
identify them separately and correctly later.
To load by CD catalogue proceed as follows:
CHART PLAN push button
1. Press CHART PLAN push button.
2. Select Load from the menu and by CD Catalogue from the sub menu. A
S57 Load dialog box appears. The default load source is CD-ROM. Press
Load and continue from step 5, if you use CD-ROM. If you want to load
from a floppy disk or from another ECDIS using LAN, you have to change
Load Dir. Press Browse to select a new Load Dir
3. If you use a floppy disk, select A:\ in Drive:. If you use another ECDIS using LAN, select suitable Drive: and
Sub Dir. Note that a correct load source has "\ENC_ROOT" in the end of the Current Directory: (see
