4. If no further chart detail is available then, when you press the bottom of the
RANGE key, the result depends upon whether Plotter Mode is on or off :
If Plotter Mode is Off, the unit beeps three times and the chart scale remains
unchanged, indicating the smallest chart scale is displayed.
If Plotter Mode is On, the scale is decreased. The vessel, waypoints, routes
and tracklines are displayed without cartography.
The chart information is restored when you return to a chart scale for which the
information is available.
To zoom out to a smaller-scale (less detailed) chart, press the top of the
RANGE key as many times as required.
2.5 Using Navionics Nav-Chart cards
The chartplotter has a built-in world map that can be used for route planning.
Most areas (these are shown with chart box boundaries) are covered at a range
of approximately 64nm as shown on the Status Bar at the top of the screen.
Note: To ensure maximum detail for the built-in world map, two versions are
available covering the Americas and the Rest of the World.
To use the chartplotter as a navigation aid, charts with detailed information for
the area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are available on
Navionics Nav-Chart cards, each of which can store as many as 20 charts in an
electronic format, depending upon its memory storage capacity.
A Nav-Chart card provides an appropriate level of detail for a given geographic
area and scale; this data can be displayed down to a range of
1
/8nm on the screen
(height) if the data is available.
