EDITORS OVERVIEW
THE ECDIS has been designed by navigators and for navigators to help the user in his
everyday tasks in order to increase safety of navigation. The ECDIS therefore provides, in
addition to the standard ECDIS functions described in this document, powerful tools allowing
the user to work on electronic charts in the same way as on paper charts.
The user may:
• Draw bearing lines, parallel or perpendicular lines and range circles just as he did with
pencil, compass and a ruler on the paper chart.
• Add temporary text information to the chart.
• Maintain the dead reckoning in case of GPS failure by manually plotting DR or Radar
positions.
• Add user data information to the chart such as wrecks, survey areas, marks etc.
• Manually update the S57 chart database by deleting, moving or adding chart objects.
NOTE
The ‘Tools Panel’ contains different panels depending on the the ECDIS
ation: the Editors panel is always present, the Radar panel is available only
when the optional Radar Kit is installed.
