5.1.3 Permanent warnings for S57 charts
Permanent warnings help you keep the S57 charts up-to-date and these are shown at
the bottom of the screen. Permanent warnings appear if the system detects a condi-
tion that may cause a chart to be not up-to-date.
Note: The system can assist in keeping RENC-received charts up-to-date. For charts
that have been loaded from sources other than an RENC, the system is unable to
know the exact up-to-date situation.
