3 Chart
The GB40 is supplied with default settings for all the
Chart options,
but you can change many of the settings to suit your own
preferences. You can:
• set up your Chart Library
• change your
Chart settings
• show and hide items on your Chart
• store your settings as Chart views
• choose which
Chart overlays to use
• change the navigation settings
• change the tracks settings
• import waypoints and routes from an older Simrad system
Each of these sections summarizes the settings that you can
change, and explains how to change each setting.
The electronic chart used by the Simrad GB40 is an aid to
navigation designed to supplement, not replace, official
government charts. Only official government charts
supplemented by notices to mariners contain the
information required for safe and prudent navigation.
Always supplement the electronic information provided by
the Simrad GB40 with other plotting sources such as
observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass
bearings. Should the information not agree, the discrepancy
must be resolved before proceeding any further.
3.1 Chart Manager
If you're running a networked GB40 system on your vessel, be
sure to unlock the chart collection on the master unit. Then, when
the master unit is On, the chart collections are available to all the
other display units on your GB40 network.
Use the Chart Manager to:
• purchase a license and/or subscription for one or more chart
collections
• install the chart collections into the Chart Library
• update charts over the internet then install the updates into the
Chart Library
