The General page displays general information about the paper chart used to compile the
loaded ARCS chart.
Temporary and Preliminary Notices
The Temporary and Preliminary Notices to Mariners still in force are issued every week by the
British Admiralty and are copied from the ARCS update CD to the hard disk each time ARCS
charts are updated in ECDIS900.
There are two types of T&P notices:
•
General, applying to an area
•
Specific, linked to one specific ARCS chart.
To access, after update, the list of T&P still in force, right click on the ARCS chart and select
Properties.
Select the T&P in the pop up menu located at the bottom of the window and a text window
displays the text of the NtM.
Tip:
For each chart, the list includes the specific notices that apply to the selected chart only
plus all general T&P Notices.
The
Technical
page displays additional information about the chart and gives direct access
to the chart notes.
The notes belonging to the current charts are listed in the ARCS notes menu. Selecting one
of the notes opens a window and shows the notes.
