how to change each setting.
The electronic chart used by the Northstar 8000i 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
Northstar 8000i 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.
