2. OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
2.1 ECDIS Display
The ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems) screen is divided into
several areas, as illustrated below. (The layout may be slightly different depending on
your monitor’s resolution.) The ECDIS operational area has no limitations. That is,
high latitudes (85° and higher) are correctly displayed always. The ECDIS uses “cy-
lindrical equidistant” projection for areas of high latitude and small chart scales. All oth-
er conditions use the “orthographic” presentation.
Note: If the display indications freeze (because of ECDIS error, etc.), the buzzer
sounds continuously. Restart the system to restore normal operation.
• The Status bar provides for selection of display mode, chart format, etc.
• The Sensor information box displays ship's speed, course and position and selects sensors.

vides true motion reset.

tion.

tions.
