 User Objects Editor

With the help of User Layer editor a navigator may add his own object and comments as an overlay to an ENC. This function may be used for adding specific information to a chart, textual notes or for temporary chart correction. It is possible to add the following types of objects:

  • areas of any complexity;

  • lines;

  • symbols;

  • texts.

The user may select color, footprint as well as orientation and size (for symbols and texts), fill color and pattern (for areas and lines).

User objects are grouped into a number of User Layer's according to the operator choice. Initial cartographic data remains unchanged.

In contrast to manual chart updating, the information about user's objects is used only for information display - the system does not use this information in navigation safety tasks.

 Manual chart updating

With the 'manual updating' facility a navigator is able to make its own chart corrections. Involved operations are quite simple and may be conducted directly at sea. Corrections made via the manual updating are treated by the program for navigation safety tasks.
