Chart related changes
S57 and ARCS charts
· Method to display availability information such as "larger scale available" has been chart harmonised between
S57 and ARCS
· The system maintain internal availability catalog and stores it into the harddisk. This has speed up operations
such as "Initial delay during start up", "Date dependent" dialog, use of "Catalog" etc.

new one.
S57 charts
· All attributes, which were previously only available as coded text strings, are now displayed in plain text.
Before on "Tidal panel data" had this feature.
· A new selection to display cancelled charts in RENC using S57 Catalogue.
ARCS charts
· ARCS catalogue uses now common backdrop chart with S57. It is always automatically available. Use of low
resolution ARCS charts in this system is discontinued after this improvement.
· ARCS charts can be used with new Skipper licence for non-SOLAS purposes. SOLAS users continue to use
Navigator licence as before. The main difference of Skipper and Navigator licence schema is that Skipper
licence do not include updating and thus the charts are not maintained up-to-date as required for SOLAS
purposes.

CD-ROM information which is loaded into ECDIS last time.
· If ENC chart is available from the area of ARCS chart it is now indicated.
