Appendix A: Charts

Safety
CAUTION: The equipment should not be used as a substitute for
good navigational practice nor for official government paper
charts.
H6 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 H6 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
H6 uses the latest digitized versions of the following charts:
• C-Map NT/PC Selector charts.
• Maptech NOAA/BSB.
• Maptech PCX.
• Maptech Photo Regions and Topographical Charts.
