11.2 Chart app overview
The chart app displays a representation of your vessel in relation to land
masses and other charted objects, which enables you to plan and navigate to
your desired destination. The Chart app requires a GNSS (GPS) position fix in
order to display your vessel at the correct location on a world map. For the
chart app to recognise vessel direction a heading sensor is recommended. If
heading data is not available then stable Course Over Ground (COG) may
be used.
The chart app uses chart modes to configure the chart screen and settings
for the relevant activity. For details on available chart modes, refer to:
p.154 — Chart modes
For each instance of the chart app you can select which chart mode and
which electronic cartography you want to use. The selection will be saved
and persist over a power cycle.
The chart app can be displayed in both fullscreen and splitscreen app pages.
App pages may consist of up to 4 instances of the chart app.
If you are underway and using a chart mode that is not suitable for navigation
it is recommended that you create a splitscreen app page and use navigate
mode in one of the splitscreen panes.

may not be available in all chart modes. If a setting option or feature that you
