Chapter 1 - Quick Start
Using chart views A and B
The 961 has two CHART screens, called chart views, desig-
nated by either VIEW A or VIEW B in the upper right-hand cor-
ner of the view. Chart view B offers the same chart-view
functions as chart view A. Having two chart views lets you see
more navigation data than would be available with only one
chart view: Using the second view, you can select a different
zoom level, a different location on the chart, different naviga-
tion information, or even a different chart, and instantly switch
between the two views just by pressing the CHART key.
Chart view A is the 961's default setting (as illustrated above).
To access chart view B from chart view A, press CHART once;
to return to chart view A, press CHART again.
Both CHART views display electronic versions of actual paper
charts. This means that everything that you're already familiar
with will be displayed right on the 961's CHART screen.
Your vessel
The round vessel symbol in the center of the CHART screen
shows your present position.
Zooming in and out on the chart view
To zoom in and show a more detailed view of the chart, press
the IN key located in the lower right-hand corner of the 961.
To zoom out and show less detail and more area, press the
OUT key located next to the IN key.
Obtaining detailed chart data
For highly detailed chart data, you should obtain either Chart-
Kit/ChartPack BSB chart CDs from either MapTech or NDI, or
HCRF chart CDs from the United Kingdom Hydrographic
Office (UKHO). With these choices in cartography, the 961 can
provides you with truly worldwide chart coverage. (If your ves-
sel ever moves into an area that isn't covered by charts, the
961 will automatically display a plotter grid.) To obtain BSB
charts, call Maptech at 978/933-3000 or NDI at 800/563-0634;
to obtain HCRF (ARCS) charts, call ARCS Customer Services at
961 Operations and Reference Manual Rev. D
