13.  USER CHARTS

areas as defined by the master or by the policy of the ship's owner. They are always 
available regardless of the type of chart material used.

•  Circle: The operator can define an area with a circle, which can define a location to 

avoid. If route or estimated ship position is going to cross the area, the system gen-
erates a warning to the user. These areas can be used to specify safe areas as de-
fined by the master or by the policy of the ship's owner. They are always available 
regardless of the type of chart material used.

•  Label: There are two types of labels: point and label. A "point" (i) is mainly used to 

denote position of objects, such as buoys, light houses, fixed targets, wrecks, etc. 
Points can be used in chart alert calculation. A "label" provides user-entered text to 
show on the display.
