Chart app — General ContentsChart app chaptersThis document includes a chart app chapter for each of the available chart modes. The Chart app – general chapter provides details of features and functions common to all chart app modes.Chart app overviewThe chart app displays a representation of your vessel in relation to land masses and other charted objects, which enables you to plan and navigate to your desired destination. The Chart app requires a GNSS (GPS) position fix in order to display your vessel at the correct location on a world map. For the chart app to recognize vessel direction, a heading sensor is recommended. If heading data is not available, a stable source of Course Over Ground (COG) data may be used instead.Cartography overviewThe Chart app includes a basic world base map. To use the Chart app for navigation purposes, compatible, detailed Electronic Navigational Charts (ENC) or Raster Navigational Charts (RNC) are required.LightHouse chartsLightHouse Charts is the brand name for Raymarine’s electronic navigation charts. S-63 Encrypted ChartsS-63 is an International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) standard for encrypting, securing and compressing electronic navigational chart (ENC) data. When correctly configured with a valid S-63 MFD activation file, your MFD can utilize S-63 Encrypted Charts.Chart app simulatorWhen using a demo profile, navigation and autopilot control can be simulated in the Chart app.NavigationRudder bar indicatorThe rudder bar indicator is used to show a graphical representation of rudder angle that can be displayed at the bottom of the screen in the chart app. The rudder bar indicator is available in Navigate, Racing, Anchor and Fishing chart modes.Depths and contoursTarget trackingThe MFD is able to track and display various types of targets to improve situational awareness and collision avoidance. The types of targets which can be tracked are dependent on connected hardware and MFD configuration.Collision avoidanceIn addition to target tracking specific collision avoidance features are available to improve awareness for the potential of collisions.Target interceptThe Intercept feature can be used to help rendezvous with friends or for Pilot boats and the Coast Guard to intercept vessels that are to be boarded. Reeds almanacThe Reeds almanac is available on Raymarine LightHouse charts.Find nearestThe Find nearest feature allows you to select a target or location and search for nearby objects or places.SmartDrift™SmartDrift™ calculates an accurate starting point for your boat if you want to drift over a specific spot after a specified time interval has elapsed.MeasureThe Measure feature can be used to measure distances from your vessel or distances between 2 points.ClearCruise Augmented RealityThe Chart app has additional Augmented Reality features, which are available when an AR200 and a compatible IP camera are connected.Chart settings menuThe chart settings menu is organized into tabs with settings and options appearing under the relevant tab. The settings available in the chart settings menu are dependent on chart mode and the cartography in use.Previous topic: SAR (Search And Rescue) patternsNext topic: Chart app — Navigate mode
