Chart datum
The chart datum setting affects the accuracy of the
vessel position information displayed in the chart
application.
In order for your GPS receiver and multifunction
display to correlate accurately with your paper
charts, they must be using the same datum.
The default datum for your multifunction display is
WGS1984. If this is not the datum used by your
paper charts, you can change the datum used
by your multifunction display, using the system
preferences page. The system preferences page
can be accessed from the homescreen:
Set-up >
System Settings > System Preferences > System
Datum
.
When you change the datum for your multifunction
display, the chart grid will subsequently
move according to the new datum, and the
latitude/longitude of the cartographic features will
also change accordingly. Your multifunction display
will attempt to set up any GPS receiver to the new
datum, as follows:
• If your multifunction display has a built in GPS
receiver it will automatically correlate each time
you change the datum.
• If you have a Raymarine GPS receiver using
SeaTalk or SeaTalk ng , it will automatically
correlate each time you change the datum on the
multifunction display.
• If you have a Raymarine GPS receiver using
NMEA0183, or a third-party GPS receiver, you
must correlate it separately.
It may be possible to use your multifunction display
to correlate an NMEA0183 GPS receiver. From the
homescreen go to
Set-up > System settings > GPS
Set-up > View Satellite Status . If the datum version
is displayed, it may be possible to change it. From
the homescreen go to
Set-up > System settings >
Data Sources > GPS Datum .
