The navigator can use two Kinds of centring zones: static or dynamic according to the ship’s heading, Static centring zone The Auto Centring button allows the user to define the ‘centring zone’ according to the ship’s heading. For example, when a ship is heading north, the operator will define a rectangle located at the bottom of the window in order to display a chart area as large as possible in front of the ship. This zone is defined by default as a rectangle located in the middle of the screen, Dynamic centring zone Using dynamic centring zone guaranties that the navigator always has the largest chart displayed in front of his ship, even when the heading changes. Indeed, after the zone is defined, the ECD1S900 will dynamically position the centring zone according to the heading. For instance, if the ship sails North East the ECDIS900 will move the centring zone to the bottom left of the screen and if the ship changes course to South the zone will be moved to the centre top of the screen. Click the Auto Centring button to display the current centring rectangle. * Two red dotted line rectangles are drawn on the chart: the current centring zone (the smaller rectangle) and the rectangle defining the limits of the dynamic zones. * To leave the centring rectangle unchanged and to erase it, click on the Auto Centring button again. ° To define a new centring rectangle, locate the cursor at one corner of the desired zone then hold and drag to draw the appropriate zone. * If the new rectangle intercepts the rectangle defining the limits of the dynamic zones a dynamic centring zone is defined, 3.3.7 Centre on ship To centre the chart about the ship click on the Centre on ship icon.ECDIS900 Release L 3.3.8 3.3.9 3.3.9.1 The cursor will appear as a cross with a User's Guide the chart will automatically be centred about the ship.
