 Appendix A: Charts

Introduction

This appendix gives additional information on charts used in RNS and includes:

• Chart formats.

• Chart types.

• Displaying chart object and source information.

• Waypoints.

• Routes.

• Tracks.

Safety

CAUTION:  The equipment should not be used as a substitute for good 
navigational practice nor for official government paper charts.

RNS makes it very easy to place a waypoint and travel towards it. However, you should 
always check first that the route is safe. If you are using RNS in combination with an 
autopilot, the autopilot will prompt for confirmation before it steers the boat towards the 
waypoint.

If you have entered a route using a small scale chart, zoom in to a larger scale to check for 
hazards, such as small shoals, that may not be shown on the smaller scale charts.

Note: 

Until you are familiar with interpreting the chart display, you should take every 

opportunity to compare the displayed objects with visual targets, such as buoys and coastal 
structures. You should practise harbor and coastal navigation during daylight and in clear 
weather conditions.

Chart formats

RNS uses the latest digitized versions of the following charts:

• C-Map NT and NT Plus.

• C-Map NT/PC Selector charts.

• Maptech NOAA/BSB.

• Maptech  PCX.

• Maptech Photo Regions and Topographical Charts.

• SoftCharts International Nautical Charts and PhotoRNS.

• NDI/HS Charts.
