5.4 Chart Setup
This paragraph shows you how to setup digital charts, from offsetting chart
position to turning chart attributes on or off.
5.4.1 Chart offset
In some instances position may be off by a few seconds. For example, the
position of the ship is shown to be at sea while it is in fact moored at a pier. You
can compensate for this error by offsetting chart position as shown in the
procedure below. You can execute the procedure from any display mode.
1. Show the plotter display and press the [MENU] key followed by the CHART
SETUP and CHART OFFSET soft keys.
