2.  RADAR, CHART RADAR OPERATION

The chart alert function operates in chart mode only. There are two types of chart 
alerts: your ship's predicted course, and route alert. See chapter 11 for details.

For the ship's predicted course alert, the operator sets a safety contour. (See 
paragraph 8.2.1 for how to set a safety contour suitable for the ship.) The operator 
also sets the parameters for own ship predicted movement. (See section 11.2 "How 
to Activate Own Ship Check".)

For the route alert, route planning (see section 12.3 "How to Create a New Route") 
and route monitoring (see section 14.1 "How to Select the Route to Monitor") functions 
are available.

"Notes" provides messages for the operator relative to a specific ship position. The 
chart radar compares the Notes position and own ship position and displays the Notes 
when own ship is at the distance from the Notes specified in route planning. To display 
the Notes at other times, right-click the display area to show the context-sensitive 
menu, then select [Notes Detail]. In the example below the Notes about a wreck are 
shown.

•  [Object name]: The name assigned to the Notes.
•  [Object class]: The type of object (point, line, area or 

circle) linked to the Notes.

•  [Position]: Position of the object in latitude and

longitude.

•  [Range]: The range to the object.
•  [Description]: A description of the object, input in the 

Voyage planning mode.
