Chart settings
AUTO LOADING MODE
When the Auto Loading mode is ON, ECDIS900 automatically loads and displays the chart
with the best scale at the ships’ current position.
To activate the “Auto loading” mode, right click anywhere on the chart and select the menu
item Auto loading.
NOTE
Auto Loading can only be activated after the Follow Ship mode has been
activated
HOT KEY
The key F3 activates Follow Ship and Auto loading when the focus is on the chart window.
(If the key is not active, click once inside the chart area to change the focus).
USING S-57 VECTOR CHARTS
• If the Auto Loading mode is OFF, the system moves the chart under the ship without
changing the scale.
• If the Auto Loading mode is ON, the chart scale will be changed if the system can load a
chart with a scale more suitable for navigation.
USING RASTER CHARTS
• If the Auto Loading mode is OFF, the system will load a chart with the same scale as the
current one. If no chart of the same scale is available, the system will load a chart with a
scale smaller than the current one (Zoom out).
• If the Auto Loading mode is ON, the system will load a chart with a higher scale when
available (Zoom in). If no such a chart is available, the loading process will continue as
described above.
NOTES
Deactivating the Follow Ship mode automatically deactivates the Auto Loading
mode.
The Follow the ship mode is deactivated if the chart is scrolled using any
available function.
