Raymarine H6 - Owner’s Manual
Chart formats
H6 uses the latest digitized versions of the paper charts traditionally used in
marine navigation and supports the following formats:
• C-Map NT+/PC Selector charts.
• Maptech PCX.
• Maptech NOAA/BSB.
Comprehensive weather/oceanographic reporting
H6 offers you the capability to download and display the latest weather and
ocean conditions, and then superimpose this information upon your charts in
several layers. Weather and oceanographic charts (in GRiB format) can be
downloaded directly from the Internet. These files can be animated to show
predicted weather conditions over a specified period of time. Typical weather files
contain information in 6, 12, or 24 hour intervals, covering a period of several
days, giving you a comprehensive presentation of atmospheric and marine
conditions.
Lifeline*
Crew safety is paramount. Lifeline is a positive reporting system that is
permanently ‘on’, using a combination of continually transmitted signals and two
radio receivers, each with its own antenna. Each crew member is given an
activated radio transmitter in the form of a key-sized tag, which will stop working
if they go overboard. The absence of a signal from any of the transmitters for a 10
second period activates an alarm. Lifeline immediately records your boat’s speed,
position and course, and marks the chart (whether open or not), enabling you to
retrace your course, returning to the casualty increasing the chances of a fast and
successful rescue.
Note:
* Not currently available with US versions of H6 due to regulatory requirements.
