Displaying Chart Object and Source Information
Chart cards include a number of displayed objects for which information is
available, such as lights and buoys. They also contain additional source data
for structures, lines, open sea areas etc. You can use the context-sensitive
cursor to identify (in a pop-up box) an object or chart position and you can
obtain detailed information for the selected item.
Set up options let you specify when an identification pop-up is displayed;
three options are available:
• Display a pop-up for all objects and source data automatically when the
cursor is over the object symbol or source area.
• Display a pop-up for displayed objects when the cursor is over the symbol.
• Do not display the identification pop-ups.
The chartplotter also provides information for the nearest waypoint, port
service, port, tide station, wreck or obstruction for a selected position. If your
chart includes port and tide data, this can be displayed.
➤ To identify an item and obtain detailed information:
1. Move the cursor over the symbol or chart position for which you require
the information. If specified in Chart Set Up, a pop-up box such as the fol-
lowing is displayed at the lower left or upper right corner of the screen:
