A.1.1 PRESENTATION OF WEATHER INFORMATION
A.1.1.1 Viewing the information in Navigation mode
The Navigation mode allows the user to view on screen the weather infor-
mation superimposed directly onto the cartography (the wind or the waves – not
both simultaneously), the area shown is relative to the position of the boat (plotted
by the onboard GPS, or in simulation mode given by the simulator). The data is
relative to the time of day and information received or simulated. The type of infor-
mation shown on the screen depends on the option chosen by the user in the menu:
Video settings - the 3 options are: no information, wind or waves.
The information shown is presented as a serie of icons - wind or waves.
The amount of icons presented on screen, depend on the position from where
the information was collected and the maximum travel speed.
- Example 1:If the boat is traveling at maximum speed all the icons will show up on
the screen.
- Example 2:If the boat is laying still without moving position, no icons will show.
If the boat travels at maximum speed and reaches the area covered by the
information of the 6th hour, the related '6th hour information' will be available on
screen. However if the boat arrived at the same area covered by the ‘6th hour infor-
mation’, after the 6th hour, no information would shown, - the information saved in
memory is regarded not up-to-date by the plotter after the 6th hour and discarded,
and new weather information will have to be collected from the C-Forecast server.

A.1.1.2 Viewing the weather information in Browse mode
The Browse mode allows the user to view on screen (superimposed onto the
cartography) the information related to wind or waves. The user can directly choose
the time and area covered in order to evaluate the situation at the time of arrival in
the area.
