overview.
Purchasing charts
To obtain BSB charts, contact your authorized Northstar dealer
or call Maptech at 978/933-3000 or NDI at 800/563-0634.
To obtain ARCS charts or detailed information about ARCS
charts, you can either call ARCS Customer Services at +44
(0)1823 723366 or visit the UKHO's website at
www.ukho.gov.uk (click on the "charts" link) for a list of Admi-
ralty Charts and Publications agents/distributors worldwide.
Installing chart CDs
The 961 processor's CD-ROM drive is used to install all chart
CDs onto the internal chart database. For complete details
about loading either type of chart, see "Loading, updating, and
deleting charts" starting on page 13-30.
Installing BSB charts
When installing BSB-format charts, be sure to use Maptech
Chartkit's Second Edition (or higher) and ChartPack chart CDs.
If you try to install one of the First Edition CDs, you'll receive
an error message and will be unable to complete the installa-
tion.
Installing HCRF charts
The procedure for installing HCRF charts is straightforward,
but because the use of ARCS charts requires chart permits, the
initial chart installation may take slightly more time than the
procedure for loading BSB charts.
The 961's TideTrack feature displays a 24-hour tide graph for
any of over 3,000 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Adminis-
tration (NOAA) and National Ocean Service (NOS) tide stations
covering the entire U.S. coastline, including Alaska and Hawaii
