• SoftCharts International Nautical Charts and PhotoNavigator.
• NDI/HS Charts.
Note:
Raymarine H6 is configured for use with charts using WGS84 datum only. If you
have problems with opening charts and chart datum, contact Raymarine H6 Technical Ser-
vices as detailed in the Maintenance and Troubleshooting section of this manual.
Chart types
Charts fall into three basic types:
Vector
A paper chart that has been digitized into a format consisting of line segments.
Vector charts can be easier to read than a rasterized chart, but may not include the
level of detail found in Raster charts. C-Map charts are examples of a vector chart.
Raster
A paper chart that has been scanned into a high resolution image. A raster chart
has the advantage of being virtually identical to the original paper chart from
which it was scanned. Maptech NOAA/BSB and PCX charts are examples of raster
charts.
Aerial imagery
A high resolution, geo-referenced rasterized photograph taken from aerial or
satellite sources. You can overlay your boat’s position on such an image, and get a
visual estimation of your position with reference to actual, photography based
landmarks. Maptech Photo Region charts are examples of this type of chart.
Installing charts
Although the charts requested at the installation stage of H6 will already be
available, it may be necessary to add additional charts to the chart library at a later
date. This section describes how to install charts using the C-Map Chart Selector
and the Chart Manager.
C-Map NT+/PC charts from CD-ROM
C-Map charts are installed using C-Map’s chart selector. You select the charts you
require, purchase the relevant chart licences and then register the charts. Once
C-Map charts have been purchased and installed they are automatically detected
