2.7 Using CompactFlash cards

Cautions

CAUTION: CompactFlash Card Installation When installing CompactFlash cards ensure that the card is fitted the correct way around. DO NOT try to force the card into position as this may result in irreparable damage to the card.

CAUTION: Water Ingress To prevent the ingress of water and consequent damage to the display, ensure that the chart card door is firmly closed at all times. This can be confirmed by an audible click.

CAUTION: Card Removal DO NOT use a metallic instrument such as a screwdriver or pliers to help you remove a card, as doing this can cause irreparable damage.

CAUTION: Card writing CompactFlash cards can be damaged if they are removed from the unit during either a read or write operation. A warning is displayed during write operations. The unit is continually reading the card. It is therefore essential that before removing the card you follow the correct procedure to stop access to the card.

What are CompactFlash cards used for?

CompactFlash cards enable you to get the most from your display. Their uses include:

• Detailed cartographic information Obtain detailed cartographic information of the area that you navigate using Navionics® chart cards. To check the current availability of Navionics chart card types, please visit www.navionics.com or www.navionics.it.

The amount of cartographic detail shown varies for different areas and for different scales. The chart scale in use is indicated in the status bar - the number represents the distance in nautical miles from the top of the chart window to the bottom of the chart window.

• Archiving To archive waypoints, routes and tracks.

• Saving To save waypoint, route and track data for use by other equipment e.g. a PC.

You can remove and insert cards while a chart is displayed provided that you follow the correct procedure (see

page 18

chartplotter redraws the screen; for example, when you pan outside the current area, or use the RANGE button to change the chart scale.

). The chart information is retained on-screen until the

2.8 Managing data

This section explains how you can manage the data contained in your C-Series and includes the following:

• Writing/retrieving to a CF card.

• Erasing information from a card.

• Erasing information from your system.

• Transferring information to/from a PC.

• Password protection.

Writing/retrieving data to a CompactFlash card

Your display can save up to 1,000 waypoints, 100 routes and 10 tracks in data base lists. Once this number is reached you will need to archive data to a CompactFlash card for safe-keeping or retrieval at a later date. Alternatively, you can transfer data to another instrument or PC using NMEA. When navigation is active, you can also receive waypoints, routes and tracks from a PC, SeaTalk and NMEA instruments (see

Saving information to a card

2.9 Emergencies and warnings

You can use your C-Series display to mark the position of a man overboard or to sound an alarm when a particular situation occurs e.g when a depth limit is reached, a specified period of time has elapsed etc.

Man Overboard (MOB)

Marking a MOB

WPTS

MOB

Press and hold until alarm sounds

If you lose a person or object overboard, and need to return to the location, you should use the Man Overboard (MOB) function immediately. The MOB function can be used whilst any application is in use and is activated by either pressing and holding the WPTS/MOB key for three seconds, or by a MOB message being received from other equipment on the SeaTalk system.

D6652-3

When a MOB is activated the following is initiated automatically:

• Alarm - the MOB alarm is triggered (Morse --- every 30 seconds).

• Waypoint - a MOB waypoint is placed at your current position.

D9101_1

• Positional information - the bearing, range and vessel position are displayed in

the data bar. These are calculated according to the MOB data type set in the System SetUp (see

page 183

). Assuming that your boat and the MOB are subject to the

same tide and wind effects, dead reckoning normally gives a more accurate course.

• Radar range change - if radar is transmitting, the system changes the radar

range to

/8 nm.

• Active navigation is suspended - Navigation to any active waypoint is sus-

pended and any existing navigation function is cancelled. No further GOTO or route functions are selectable whilst the MOB function is active.

• Autorange motion mode - If radar/chart synchronization is set to OFF (see

page 76

), the chart application changes the motion mode to Autorange.This displays the largest possible scale of chart that will include both the target waypoint (MOB symbol) and your on-screen vessel.

• Other equipment - other Raymarine equipment acknowledges the MOB.

• Current position to MOB position - as your vessel moves away from the MOB position, a dotted line is displayed from your current position to the MOB position.

Note: To obtain a MOB position, you need either position data from a GPS (or equivalent device) or heading and speed data.

Chapter 2: General Operation 27

Silencing a MOB

To temporarily silence the alarm from a MOB, press any key on any instrument on the SeaTalk system. After approximately 10 seconds the alarm will sound once more if the state of MOB is still active.

Silencing an alarm will not deactivate or clear the MOB state.

Clearing a MOB

Chapter 3: Working with Waypoints

This chapter gives details of how to place, edit, manage and navigate to a waypoint.

3.1 What is a waypoint?

A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder window to indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc.) or as a place to navigate to. By default, all waypoints are

indicated on screen by a waypoint symbol you wish. You can also select an alternative symbol to be used as the default for newly

created waypoints.

Waypoint symbols

x. This symbol can however be changed if

Note:

For details of how to change the symbol, please refer to page 35.

Waypoints are a core feature of the C-Series display. They can be created in any application and are displayed on the radar, chart and fishfinder windows. A series of waypoints can be combined together to form a route.

The details of all waypoints, irrespective of the application they were created in, are stored in a dedicated waypoint list which will hold up to 1000 waypoints. All waypoints are by default, placed in the MY WAYPOINTS group. If required, you can create new groups and change the default group. If necessary, waypoints can be archived to a CompactFlash card or transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument. If the system receives an active waypoint over SeaTalk or NMEA, it is displayed but cannot be edited.

If required, you can prevent access to, modification and sight of your waypoint and route databases and functions by means of a password. For more information see

3.2 How are waypoints represented?

Waypoints on Chart and Radar windows

On chart and radar windows, a waypoint is represented when it is both active (displayed in a box) and inactive (no box) i.e.

Waypoint 1

Default waypoint

Active waypoint

Alternative symbol

Waypoints on CDI windows

On CDI windows, a waypoint is represented only when it is active (displayed in a box).

3.3 Placing a waypoint

A waypoint can be placed at:

• The cursor position.

• Your vessel’s position.

• At a position of your choosing (using lat/lon or Loran TD coordinates between 80 N/S).

When you are placing a waypoint, you can either accept the default or customize its details. For more information see

Once a waypoint has been placed, you can view its details and edit them (if necessary). For more information, see

3.4 Navigating to a waypoint

This section explains how to start and stop navigating to a waypoint. When you navigate to a waypoint or to the cursor position, the data is sent on NMEA 0183 and SeaTalk and can be used by an autopilot, if connected. For more information on navigation, see

page 56

Start navigating to a waypoint

You can navigate to a waypoint using the cursor, via the WPTS MOB button or by selecting the GOTO option.

Once navigation is active, the waypoint symbol is surrounded by a box and a dashed line appears between your boat and the waypoint.

If required you can display navigation details for the

3.8 Organising waypoints into groups

Provided that you have not changed the default group, all waypoints are automatically placed in the default “My Waypoints” group when they are created. In order to make your waypoints easier to manage, you can organize them into groups of your choice. When fishing, for example, you may only wish to see the waypoints that indicate good fishing sites. Other waypoints, say, for racing, would be superfluous at this time.

Erasing a group

You can erase any waypoint group from the system except the group containing the active waypoint.

When a waypoint group is erased, the group name together with all of the waypoints in that group are erased from the system with the exception of:

• ‘My Waypoints’ - the waypoints contained within this group are deleted but the group name remains.

• Waypoints used in routes within your system.

You should therefore ensure that any individual waypoints that you want to keep (which are not part of a route), are moved before their group is erased.

1. Display the group list (see

3.9 Controlling waypoint display

When you have placed many waypoints on your system, it may become difficult to easily interpret chart or radar information. This is particularly the case if you have many waypoints in a small area. There are a number of ways that you can control the display of waypoints and waypoint information in chart and radar windows. These are:

Chapter 4: Using the Chart

4.1 Important

Safety

When using your chartplotter you should always check that a route is safe. Zoom in to check for hazards, such as small shoals, that may not be shown on a smaller scale chart.

Until you are familiar with interpreting the chart display, you should take every opportunity to compare the displayed objects with visual targets, such as buoys and coastal structures. You should practice harbour and coastal navigation during daylight and in clear weather conditions. The simulator mode can also be used to help you gain experience.

It is strongly recommended that before you use your chart application, that you read and understand

Chapter 3:Working with Waypoints

CAUTION: The equipment should not be used as a substitute for good navigational practice nor for official government paper charts. Do not use the chart before you have read this chapter.

Chart functionality

1. To access full functionality, your chart application requires position and heading data from your boat’s Global Positioning System (GPS).

2. Your C-Series Display has a built in world map, but to use your Display as a navigation aid, you will need detailed information for the area you wish to navigate. This information comes in the form of a chart card and is available from Navionics (see

Important Information

the information on installing and removing chart cards refer to

4.2 Uses of the chart application

Once the heading and position data is available you can use your chart to:

• Find out where you are (see

• Interpret your surroundings (see

• Measure the distance and bearing between two points (see

• Place waypoints at specific locations (see

• Navigate to a specific point (see

• Build and follow a route (see

• Monitor where you are going (see

• Distinguish between fixed and moving objects using radar overlay (see

• Record where you have been (see

• Manage and edit routes and tracks (see

• View AIS data (see

Facilities are also provided to customize your chart application to your own particular requirements and circumstances. You can:

• Alter the way the chart is drawn in relation to your boat and the direction you are travelling in (chart orientation and motion mode).

• Manage and edit chart data you have entered.

Chapter 4: Using the Chart 45

4.3 Viewing the chart

You will normally view your chart with the vessel on screen and motion mode ‘active’. When motion mode is active, as your vessel moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the vessel on screen. When you zoom the chart in active mode, the chart zooms about your vessel position.

Alternatively, you may be planning a journey and do not want the chart to redraw as your vessel moves. You can suspend the active motion mode by using the cursor to pan the chart (see

page 46

) or by selecting FIND CURSOR.

When motion mode is suspended, the mode is shown in the status bar in parenthesis e.g. (RELATIVE MOTION); zoom operates about your cursor position.

Provided the necessary data to ascertain your vessel’s position is available, you can activate the motion mode, by selecting FIND SHIP.

You can use your chart to navigate to a specific point marked by the cursor (temporary waypoint) or to a waypoint. If required you can display the largest chart scale possible that will display both your boat and the target waypoint. When you navigate to a waypoint or to the cursor position, the data is sent on NMEA 0183 and SeaTalk and can be used by an autopilot, if connected. On arrival at the specified point a message is displayed and an alarm sounds.

When you are steering manually, you can also use the chart to determine the bearing or direction to steer.

ROUTES ...

This section describes how to use routes and includes the following:

• What is a route?

• What can I do with a route?

• Building and saving a route.

• Following a route.

• Viewing details of routes.

Once created you have the option to view a route’s details, amend its course, edit its name and color or erase it.

All route options can be accessed via the ROUTES soft key.

What is a route?

A route is a series of waypoints used to navigate a course. A route is displayed on screen as a series of waypoints linked by a line.

What can I do with a route?

You can:

• Build a temporary route that you follow immediately (Quick Route). If you do not

rename a quick route, it will be overwritten and its waypoints deleted when a new quick route is built.

• Build and save a route for later use, in which case the route is stored in the route list.

• Convert a track of your course into a route (see

page 80

Waypoint

D8327_1

60 C-Series Display Reference Manual

Building a route

Routes can either be built on screen or via the waypoint list. A route consists of:

• New waypoints that you have specifically placed for that route

• Existing waypoints that are already stored in the system

Or:

• A combination of new and existing waypoints.

Note:

A route can also be created from a track. See page 80 for details.

Up to 100 routes can be added to your system, each consisting of up to 50 waypoints. As each waypoint is added, it is assigned an index number corresponding to its position in the route and drawn on the chart using the currently specified symbol.

The following should be noted:

• When a route is being built it is not active and does not affect any current naviga-

tion.

• You can include a waypoint more than once in a route, but the same waypoint can-

not be placed consecutively.

• You can create a new route when the route list is full but on saving this, you will be

prompted to choose an existing route to overwrite.

• You cannot save a new route if any of the waypoints within it are currently active.

• The way in which the OK and CANCEL buttons operate is different when you are

building and editing routes (see below).

Building a route on screen

You can build a route on screen that consists of either new or existing waypoints or a combination of both.

4.12 Monitoring where you are going

... using chart vectors

You can display a variety of graphical indicators to help monitor where you are going:

Note:

Any vectors applied to a chart window that is set to system view, will be dis-

played in all other system view chart windows.

Heading (HDG) and course over ground (COG) vectors

Heading vector (HDG)

Course over ground (COG)

The ship’s heading (HDG) is displayed as a line with an open arrow head. It does not take account of winds or tides.

The course over ground (COG) indicates the boat’s actual course and is displayed as a line with two open arrow heads.

D6772-2

The length of these lines is determined by the distance your boat will travel in the time you have specified (3 mins, 6 mins or infinite) in the Chart Setup Menu (see

page 90

) at

the current speed.

Any times that you specify will apply to all chart views and if INFINITE is selected the vector will extend to the edge of the chart window.

If neither the speed over ground (SOG) or heading are available, vectors cannot

4.14 Using the radar with the chart

You can enhance the use of your chart by combining it with the following radar features:

• Radar range synchronization

•MARPA.

•Radar overlay.

Synchronizing the chart with radar range

When synchronization is switched on:

• The radar range in all radar windows, changes to match the chart scale.

• ‘Sync’ is indicated in the top left-hand corner of the chart window.

• If you change the radar range, in any radar window, all synchronized chart views

change scale to match.

• If you change the scale of a synchronized chart window, all radar windows change

range to match.

Creating a route from a track

Creating a route from a track enables you to retrace the course of that track.

When a track is converted the system creates the closest route through the recorded track, using the minimum number of waypoints. Each waypoint created will be saved with the depth and temperature data (if applicable) for that position.

On completion, the maximum deviation of the route from the recorded track is displayed and the new route is added to the route list. It can now be displayed, edited and erased etc. in the same way as other routes in the system.

If a track break occurs, only the last

4.17 Defining how the chart windows are presented

Each chart window can be tailored to meet your particular needs. You can:

• Set the chart view for individual windows or system wide (see below).

• Change how the chart is orientated (see

page 84

• Change the way your chart is drawn in relation to your boat movement (see

page 85

Working with multiple chart views

If you have more than one chart window, you can either share the presentation or present each window independently. The option you have chosen is indicated on the chart status bar as LOCAL or SYSTEM.

System chart view

When a chart application is started it defaults to system view. Any windows set to system view will have the same presentation as other system windows for:

• Chart mode and orientation.

• Chart layers - radar and AIS.

• Radar/chart synchronization.

• Show/hide waypoints, routes and tracks.

• Declutter.

•Vectors.

If you change any of these options in one window, ALL system windows will update.

Local chart view

When local chart view is selected the presentation for each window is set independently.

Defining chart window presentation

To define how the chart windows are presented:

control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The mode that you choose is restored at power up. Any changes that you make to a chart window that is set to system view will be reflected in all other system view chart windows. The following options are available:

North Up (N-up)

In North Up mode, the chart orientation is fixed with true north upwards. As your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly. This is the default mode for the chart application.

Head Up (H-up)

Head Up mode displays the chart with your boat’s current heading upwards. As the heading changes the boat symbol remains fixed and the chart picture rotates accordingly.

) to

Notes: (1)

To prevent continuous backwards and forwards rotations as the boat yaws from side-to-side, the chart will not update unless the heading changes by at least 10 degrees from the last displayed orientation.

(2)

It is not possible to select Head Up when the motion mode is set to True.

Course Up (C-UP)

In Course Up mode, the chart picture is stabilized and shown with your current course upwards. As your boat’s heading changes, the ship symbol moves accordingly. If you select a new course, the picture will reset to display the new course upwards.

The reference used for Course-Up depends upon the information available at a given time. The system always prioritizes this information in the following order.:

1. Bearing from origin to destination, i.e. intended course.

2. Locked heading from an Autopilot.

3. Bearing to waypoint.

4. Instantaneous heading.

If heading data becomes unavailable whilst in this mode, a warning message will be shown and the chart uses 0° heading in relative motion.

Setting the motion mode

The motion mode controls the relationship between the chart and your boat. Whilst motion mode is active, as your boat moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the boat onscreen. The three motion modes are:

•Relative motion.

• True motion.

•Autorange.

When you pan the chart or toggle FIND SHIP/CURSOR to CURSOR, the motion mode is suspended. This is indicated in the status bar by ‘( )’ around the motion mode and enables you to view another area of the chart whilst navigating. To reset the motion mode and return your boat to the screen, press FIND SHIP. Manually changing the range in autorange also suspends motion mode.

The default setting is relative motion with zero offset. The mode that you select is restored at power up. When a chart window is set to SYSTEM view the motion mode will be set but not synchronized across other system view windows.

In the following example the motion mode has been set to Relative with a vessel offset of 1/3. The boat is fixed in the offset position and the chart moves accordingly:

True motion (TM)

When the motion mode is set to True, the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen. As the boat’s position approaches the edge of the screen, the chart picture is automatically reset to reveal the area ahead of the boat.

It is not possible to select True Motion when the orientation is set to Head Up.
