User Manual
Grounding Alarm
The chartplotter is provided with a function that, by querying the map's data, verifies potential danger
to navigation due to shallow water, land, rocks, obstructions and shoreline constructions. The maps
are scanned periodically (every 10 seconds). When the Grounding Alarm is active, the chartplotter
scans an area in front of the boat. This area is identified by a triangle drawn in front of the boat icon
whose direction is determined by the current boat heading. The length of the triangle is user selectable
and its angle is 30 degrees. If any of the above objects are found, the chartplotter notifies the danger on
a dedicated warning message box in the Grounding Alarm Report page. The Grounding Alarm is
switched Off by default after a Master Reset. Once the Grounding Alarm has been activated, a warning
message is shown.
'MENU' + "ADVANCED SETTINGS" + 'ENTER' + "ALARMS" + 'ENTER' + "GROUNDING ALARM"
+ 'ENTER'
Note
The Grounding Alarm function only operates with the new NT+ C-CARDs. It also affects the
speed of the redraw of the screen. If this function is not used it maybe disabled.
Grounding Alarm Range
Allows setting the length of the sector to be detected among 0.25, 0.5, 1.0 Nm. The default setting is
0.25 Nm. When any of the searched objects is found in the scanned area, a tick marker is printed on the
relative box in the Grounding Alarm Report page to identify which dangerous objects have been cur-
rently detected.
'MENU' + "ADVANCED SETTINGS" + 'ENTER' + "ALARMS" + 'ENTER' + "GROUNDING ALARM
RANGE" + 'ENTER'
Grounding Alarm Report
Allows displaying the report of the dangerous objects currently detected.
'MENU' + "ADVANCED SETTINGS" + 'ENTER' + "ALARMS" + 'ENTER' + "GROUNDING ALARM

Heading (Simulation)

nHDG = Heading
The horizontal direction in which a ship actually points or heads in any moment (see also COG).
nHDOP = Horizontal Dilution Of Precision
It is the index for position-fixing accuracy. The smaller the HDOP value, the more accurately the
position can be fixed.
Home
From the chart display, if the GPS computing a valid fix position and the chartplotter is not in Home
mode, pressing 'CLEAR' sets Home mode. When Home (called also Navigate) mode is set, the cursor
is not shown anymore and all cartographic functions (zoom, scroll, etc.) are leaded by the fix position.
The fix is centered in the map display and the map scrolls underneath as the fix position changes. As
soon as the cursor key is touched, Home mode is deactivated and the cursor symbol is shown. Note
that altough the cursor symbol is not displayed when Home mode is active, its coordinates must be
updated with the fix position coordinates.
If a valid fix position is not received and 'CLEAR' is pressed, the chartplotter emits a triple beep.
Activate Home mode (if not into a menu): 'CLEAR'
Exit from Home mode: move the cursor
