Chart data

The system is delivered with different embedded cartography depending on region.
All units will support Insight charts from Navico including Insight Genesis. The system also
supports Navionics Gold, Platinum+ and Navionics+, C-MAP MAX-N/MAX-N+ by Jeppesen as
well as content created by variety of third party mapping providers in the AT5 format. For a
full selection of available charts please visit insightstore.navico.com, c-map.jeppesen.com or
navionics.com.
Charts are shared over the network, so only one chart card per boat is required.

Ú

Note:

The system will not automatically switch to embedded cartography if the SD card is

removed. A low-resolution chart will be displayed until you re-insert the SD card or manually
switch back to embedded cartography.

Showing dual chart type

If you have different chart types available - embedded, in the card slot or on the Ethernet -
you can show two different chart types simulatanously on a page with two chart panels.
You can select a dual chart panel by pressing and holding the Chart application button on
the Home page, or by creating a favorite page with two chart panels.

Selecting chart type

Chart type is set individually for each chart panel.
Activate one of the chart panels, then select one of the available chart types from the chart
options menu. Repeat the process for the second chart panel, and select an alternative chart
type for this panel.

Ú

Note:

To show charts other than Navionics, Insight chart type must be selected.

If you have identical charts available - built in, in the card slot or on the Ethernet network -
the system will automatically select the chart with most chart details for your displayed
region.

Vessel symbol

When a GPS and a suitable heading sensor are connected to the system, the vessel symbol
indicates vessel position and heading.

Without a heading sensor fitted, the vessel icon will orientate itself using COG (Course over
Ground). If no GPS is available the vessel symbol will include a question mark.

Chart scale

You zoom in and out on the chart by using the zoom panel icons, the rotary knob, or by
using 2 fingers to pinch (zoom out) and spread (zoom in).
Chart range scale and range rings interval (when turned on) will be shown in the lower right
corner of the chart panel.

Panning the chart

You can move the chart in any direction by:

Touch operation: dragging your finger on the screen

Key operation: using the arrow keys to move the cursor to the edge of the chart panel in the
desired direction
Select the Clear cursor menu option to remove the cursor and cursor window from the
panel. This will also center the chart to vessel position.
