5.2 Using Chart Cards
The chartplotter has a built-in world map; most areas are displayed on a scale
of 4000 nm from the top to the bottom of the screen, and can be zoomed in to
150 nm.
To use the chartplotter as a navigation aid, charts with detailed information for
the area you wish to navigate are required. The charts are available on C-MAP
NT electronic chart cards (C-Cards), each of which can store as many as 20
charts in an electronic format. A single C-MAP chart normally provides as
much information as is available in paper charts for that geographic area, and
can be displayed down to a range of 1/64 nm on the screen if the data is
available.
