A VECTOR chart display allows users to customize the layers of displayed data, providing a personalized view of the chart.

On a VECTOR chart display, users can access detailed information about specific charted objects through a feature known as a 'pick report'.

A RASTER chart system displays a digital image of a paper chart, preserving the original layout and details.

ENC Cell names, like 'FR402424', use the third digit to indicate the navigational purpose of the chart.

When zooming in on a RASTER chart system, you can see more detail on specific features.

The standard used for Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs) and GPS coordinates, ensuring compatibility.

A database of information, in the manufacturer's internal ECDIS format, containing the information from an ENC content and updates.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is responsible for defining the performance standards for ECDIS, ensuring they meet international safety requirements.

The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) is responsible for setting the standards for Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs), ensuring consistency and accuracy in nautical charts.

The primary function of ECDIS is to contribute to safe navigation by providing an electronic display of nautical charts and related information, enhancing situational awareness and decision-making.

The IHO standard S-57 defines the structure and content of Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs), ensuring compatibility between different chart providers.

The IHO standard S-52 defines the presentation of raster navigational charts (RNCs), which can be used in ECDIS.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) performance standard 5-81 defines the requirements for the presentation of RNCs, ensuring consistency in their appearance and implementation.

A Regional Electronic Chart Co-ordination Centre (RENC) is an organization responsible for ensuring uniformity and consistency in the distribution and updating of electronic navigational charts (ENCs) within a specific region.

A Raster Navigational Chart (RNC) is a digital representation of a traditional paper chart, created by scanning the paper chart and converting it into a digital format.

A digital representation of a paper chart which conforms to international hydrographic office specifications.

An alarm should trigger when the ship deviates from the planned route by a specified amount (cross-track limit).

A vector chart represents nautical information as a database of individual objects (buoys, shoals, etc.) and their geographical positions. It allows for flexible and scalable display of chart information.

The DOP (Dilution of Precision) figure can be affected by poor geometry of satellite signals, resulting in less accurate positioning.

This symbol on an ENC chart indicates that the data presented has not been assessed for accuracy and may be unreliable. The user should be cautious about using the information.

Voyage recording files must be stored in a way that prevents manipulation or alteration. They should not be easily editable.

Voyage recording in ECDIS must meet the minimum requirement of recording the entire voyage with intervals of no more than 1 minute. Also, at least the past 12 hours must be stored with intervals of no more than 1 minute.

An ENC is a digital representation of official hydrographic data.

The ECDIS system should be able to display information from GPS, AIS, and ARPA.

An alarm in ECDIS should notify the mariner by visible means and/or audible means.

The PERMIT.TXT file enables decryption and access to ENC cells, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized access.

When using ECDIS as the primary means of navigation, paper charts are required as back-up. This backup must include the complete voyage plotted on paper charts.

A safety contour identifies areas where there are potential hazards such as shallow water, obstructions or other hazards to navigation.

A range is a line of bearing used to identify a position along a coastline, waterway, or other geographic feature.

The North Arrow on a chart indicates true or magnetic north. It helps with navigation and determining bearing.

The accuracy of a measurement is shown by the DOP (Dilution of Precision) value. A higher DOP means lower accuracy.

The International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) sets the standards of hardware and tests related to ECDIS.

ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) is a system used to represent and display nautical charts electronically.

A vector chart is a database containing individually captured objects, their geographical positions, and attributes.

ENCs (Electronic Navigational Charts) should be updated using official corrections supplied by the Regional ENC coordination center (RENC)

A raster chart is a digital representation of a paper chart. It works like a scanned image.

The minimum sensor inputs required for ECDIS include a position system, heading, speed, and radar.

ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) is a system used to display nautical charts electronically. It makes navigation safer and more efficient.

A raster chart conforms to the specifications of the International Hydrographic Organisation (IHO) and the International Association of Lighthouse Authorities (IALA)

The user may rely too heavily on ECDIS and not be aware of the conditions that can affect the accuracy of the displayed information. This potential over-reliance can lead to poor decision making and incorrect navigation.

Auto-plotting waypoints, verifying a route upon completion, and sound input of waypoint positions are not available in standard ECDIS routing planning features. The most commonly found features are route planning, route verification, and route editing.
