A route, a user chart or Notes can be displayed at the top of the electronic chart, in either the plan mode or the
monitor mode.
To choose desired mode, put the cursor on the text Route, UserChart or Notes in the sidebar. A drop-down dialog
box appears, where you can choose either Monitor or Plan by clicking the appropriate button with the left button.
With User Chart or Notes, only the plan mode or the monitor mode can be displayed in the sidebar. (Display

6.2 How to Set up Before Departure
Update chart material
Update your S57 chart material before embarking on a new voyage. To get more information about updating S57
charts, see Chapter 7 Vector Chart.
Display and approve dates for S57 charts and manual updates
Note: It is very important that you set the Display and Approve dates for S57 charts as the current date.
There may be features that require chart viewing dates or seasonal dates in S57 charts. Accordingly, if you have not
set Display and Approve dates as the current date there is a possibility that you can get a wrong presentation or some
feature may be absent. For how to set Display and Approve dates, see section 7.11 Chart Viewing Dates and
Seasonal Features of the Vector Chart.
Create or update user chart
If necessary, create a new user chart or modify an existing one. For more information about user charts, see Chapter
12 User Chart Control.
