1 Introduction
The eGlobe is a type-approved ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System).
eGlobe is also an excellent navigation aid that, properly used, improves safety as well as
economy for marine navigation.
The eGlobe navigation is based on use of ENCs. When ENCs are loaded for the entire
planned route and a backup-system is in operation the eGlobe system works as a paperless
ECDIS.
ChartWorld International Ltd. is not responsible for and cannot vouch for the function of the
charts used, nor can the company be held responsible for inaccuracies, inadequacies or other
faults in the system. ChartWorld International Ltd also disclaims any liability for direct or
indirect damage to persons or property, due to other possible shortcomings, defects or
imperfections in the system delivered by ChartWorld International Ltd.

sanctuary area with entry prohibited during spring and summer. The default behavior is to use
current date as check date- option Check Date – Current date.
When option Check Date is selected there are three different ways to specify the check date.
Current Date means actual date from computer clock.
Set any date using the calendar control.
Use date from route to let the system calculate the date (route
with proper speed settings must be loaded).
In Check Date mode the visibility of objects having time limits
is controlled by the date specified.
When non-default date checking is active this is indicated in the chart pane see Figure 26.

Page 45
4.2.8.6 Presentation

In the AIS Target Filter and Auto Activation form suppressing of sleeping and automatic
activation of sleeping AIS targets can be configured.
Default behavior is that a new AIS target gets sleeping status.
To avoid cluttering of the chart displaying of sleeping targets
can be suppressed.
Sleeping AIS targets can be automatically activated if any of
the Automatic Activation conditions is fulfilled.
Normally eGlobe gives an alarm when a target (AIS or ARPA)

is lost. The lost target alarm can be disabled or configured
to occur only for targets within a certain range. This is
done in the Target Alarm Settings form.
When AIS target filtering is active or lost target alarm is disabled this is indicated
in the upper right corner of the chart pane.
To get actual status place the cursor over the text Target ? and a box with actual information
is displayed
4.2.9.2 Ship
Selection of own ship presentation:

As symbol,
True to scale whenever possible.

Page 47
4.2.9.3 True Motion Area
It is possible to change the area where ship

can travel without changing or
redrawing chart picture in TM mode.
This is accomplished by an easy “grab and
drag” the lines as in figure.
If the checkbox Auto Mode is checked the

automatic mode is selected.
In auto mode the ships position, course , display range, check ahead factor and reset factor are
used to calculate an optimized true motion
area. For every updated position a point is
calculated from actual position in bearing =
ships course and distance= display range
multiplied with the check ahead factor. If the
calculated point is outside the visible chart a
new center point for the display is calculated
from actual position in bearing = ships course and distance= display range multiplied with the
reset factor.
Values to be avoided:
1. Check Ahead factors greater than 1.00

2. Reset factors greater than the Check Ahead factor
4.2.9.4 Range Rings
Display of range rings are turned on/off with this menu item. The distance is calculated
automatically and shown in the menu.

Page 48
4.2.9.5 Display Motion/Moving the chart
In eGlobe, the chart picture may be presented in the same way as in a radar: RM (Relative
Motion) or TM (True Motion). The normal presentation is TM, where the ship moves in the
chart picture, with a change of pictures when the ship comes to the edge. In RM the ship stand
still and all chart information moves in small steps for each position change, the advantage
being that you always have a maximum lead.
True, TM= Chart is still and the ship moves

Relative, RM= Chart moves and the ship stands still
(Note the parallel function on the Symbol Function Bar)
4.2.9.6 Display Rotation
It is possible to change the chart presentation between:

North Up
Course Up
Head Up.
North Up is the native mode. The “Course Up Mode” is available only when a Course-over-
ground value is present from EPFS (or GPS-receiver). The “Head Up Mode” is available only
when ships heading is present (Compass).
The north arrow is always shown at the top left position of the chart pane independent of
setting above (North/Course/Head Up).
(Note the parallel function on the Symbol Function Bar)
4.2.9.7 Ruler
eGlobe features several ways for measuring the distance. The presentation of any ruler is
started in this menu with the “ruler” key on the control unit or by clicking in the cursor
position square. The ruler is laid out by use of the trackball. The control unit can be used to
select if the distance shall be presented in meters or nautical miles.
The free ruler measures distance between two points

Ship free measures between ship and a point
Measures between ship and a locked point.
With Ship Free, the ruler position relative to the ship will always be the same; with Ship
Locked, the ruler always shows distance and bearing to the locked position, regardless of the
ship’s motion.

5 Prediction
5.1 General
One of the most advanced functions in eGlobe is the
possibility of prediction, which is the very essence of all
navigation and particularly useful in difficult waters with
poor visibility.
With prediction, a quick glance at the screen is enough to
verify that the requested maneuver is sufficient to go clear.
All predictor presentation is designed to show the trend
clearly with simple graphical elements without concealing
the chart picture.
One of the prerequisites for the predictor is the “virtual
antenna”, which makes it possible to correct the physical
placement of the antenna and present the antenna in the
ship’s turn center. This avoids parallax and position errors
in calculations and presentation.
5.2 Vector
The vector is the simplest type of prediction, which
only shows speed and course over ground. The
length of the vector represents the ship’s voyage
during the set time period for the vector. The heading projection, too, is shown as an
indication of the leeway.
The vector is suitable for use in open waters, where the predictors are often too sensitive,
since a ship at sea is normally allowed somewhat more space to move.
5.3 Predictor
The predictor is a more advanced type of predictor, which
graphically shows the integrated result of the ship’s speed
and course over ground and the rate of turn.
The predictor function is primarily intended for archipelago navigation and harbor approach,
and is particularly appreciated at poor visibility, strong winds and rapid-flowing water.
By selecting the Precision table or the Cross-over table, it is possible to change the predictor
characteristics. With the Precision table selected, the program’s filter characteristics are
adapted to use for navigation in narrow waters, where all tendencies must show quickly and
clearly. With the Cross-over table selected, the filters are adapted to give a more stable

Page 79
predictor and calmer numeric data.
5.4 Full Predictor

The full predictor is a highly advanced graphical presentation of the
integrated result of the ship’s heading projection, speed and course
over ground and rate of turn. In addition to the turn prediction, this
predictor also shows the ship’s sweep area, which may be
considerable during a narrow turn with a strong side wind or flowing
water.
The function is primarily intended for archipelago navigation, harbor approach, steering and
putting in, and is particularly appreciated at poor visibility, strong winds and rapid-flowing
water.
The characteristics of the full predictor can be influenced with the Precision and Cross-over
tables.
5.5 Extra Vectors

Extra vector show the ship’s fore-and-aft and abeam
speed and the rate of turn (ROT).
The corner vectors are especially useful for very large

ships during complicated maneuvers at extremely low
speed, where they offer a very clear graphical illustration
of the totality of the ship’s motion.
5.6 Shadows
The presentation of shadows is not a prediction, but
shadows have a close relationship to prediction and
are therefore described here. The shadows show the
history in the form of a selectable number of ship
silhouettes that are drawn at a selectable interval.
They make it possible for the navigator to check

visually that the prediction is correct. Together, the shadows and the predictor clearly show if
the ship’s motion would diverge due to errors in the positioning or the compass.

Page 80
5.7 Wind vector

The wind vector shows the wind direction and the wind
speed.
5.8 Trail presentation

The trail can be presented in a number of layouts. The
figure shows the normal presentation.

Page 81
5.9 Docking presentation

The docking manoeuvre can be presented
in detail by use of functions extra vector
and the shadow presentation.

6 Chart Handling
IMPORTANT!!! To avoid viruses and to ensure the eGlobe system stability
please use only a dedicated USB memory device to transfer chart data from
other sources (e.g. communication computer) into eGlobe. Please mark this
dedicated USB memory device with one of the “eGlobe” sticks provided.
6.1 Chart Handler

A special application Chart Handler is used to manage chart collection for eGlobe.
To start Chart Handler change to the Start Up menu application and select Chart
Handler:
It is possible to use Chart Handler running together with eGlobe but for safety
reasons we recommend that chart maintenance is done in the port when eGlobe is not
used for navigation.
On a networked installation (Master - Back Up) we recommend to use always the
same workstation for chart maintenance. All chard Data such as new SENC, Updates
and Permits as applicable will be copied to another station(s) on eGlobe network.

8 Navigation
Digital charts can be presented in the views (1-4). Navigation is made by use of a selected
route that is displayed graphically on the chart.
A number of help tools are available. The navigation instruments make it easy to follow the
planned route with consideration to the current leeway. Other tools are: vectors, heading
projection and trails, drawn on the chart close to the ship.
8.1 Navigation mode

The chart presentation can be position-controlled or free. In position-controlled navigation,
the picture moves so that the ship is always visible on the chart. In free navigation, the picture
can be moved with the trackball or arrow keys. Currently active navigation mode is indicated
by ”Nav” or “Free” on the symbol function bar.
8.2 Selection of views

Views refer to pre-defined chart pictures and settings of the ship presentation as well as tools
with various settings. Each view can be selected as free (i.e. frozen in the current position) or
NAV (the chart picture follows the ship’s motion).
N.B.
All settings under the menus ECDIS and Display are unique for each view. Consequently,
each view may have completely individual and unique settings, and clicking on the respective
views is a quick way of switching between these settings.
The “View buttons I-IV” can be used to switch between views quickly and conveniently.
Below is a proposal for how to use the views.

View 1 – Navigation, zoomed in

8.12 Navigation tables

There are different navigation tables, which supply continuous graphical and numerical
information as to how the ship follows the current route. In addition, there is continuous
position quality display.
8.12.1 Precision table

The precision table is especially intended for navigation in archipelagos and narrow waters. It
presents numerical and graphical information, which with very high precision guides the
navigator in following the current route. The instrument shows with meter precision exactly
how the ship adheres to the route. During turns the instrument shows a turn prognosis as an
indication of how optimally the turn will be completed.
In addition, filter parameters in the program are adjusted for prompt indication of tendencies
in ship symbol and numerical values, which helps the navigator to see any tendencies in the
ship’s motion at a very early stage.

8.12.2 Ocean sailing table

The ocean-sailing table is intended for navigation over open water. It presents numerical and
graphical information, which guides the navigator in following the current route. The
instrument is designed to guide the navigator clearly and optimally the straightest way in the
route even in rapid-flowing water.
The box HTS (Heading To Steer) shows the course through water that the ship must steer to
compensate for wind drift, water streams and gyrocompass errors in latitude and speed.
The filter parameters are adjusted to give a calm and stable presentation of ship symbol and
numerical values even in bad weather.

8.12.3 Navigation instrument

The navigation instrument is a graphical two-dimensional description of the ship’s situation
relative to route. The scale normally goes in steps of 10 meters but may be changed in the
menu “Configure”.
The ship can be shown in scale or showing drift – double-click the ship symbol to change the
display. We recommend strongly for navigation: “ship – showing drift”
• “Showing drift”, the drift is presented graphically as the ship’s turn in the
instrument, and tendencies to a course drift are shown even before the drift is a
fact. If the antenna has been moved out as a ”virtual antenna”, the instrument
shows the position of the virtual antenna.
• “Ship in scale”, the display is enlarged compared to the chart and the ship’s turn
presents the actual heading direction relative to route.
8.12.4 Navigation instrument information during straight travel

The numbers at the top represent planned route courses – current course to the left, and course
after next turn to the right.
The number at the bottom represents the lateral divergence from the route in meters. The
arrow in front of the lateral divergence indicates starboard or port divergence.

8.12.7 GPS status

One of the corner-stones for exact positioning is to have control over possible errors from the
D-GPS receiver. The fact that position errors may appear at random and often in harbor areas
and narrow waters, where the need for high positions quality is critical, calls for a quick and
clear indication.
With a standard D-GPS receiver, you will see if the D-GPS receiver receives valid
corrections, number of satellites used in the position calculation and position quality based on
used satellites.
With an eGlobe-compatible D-GPS receiver, you will have complete control of the position
quality, and with those ADVETO D-GPS receivers that make use of AIM technology,
position errors are indicated with a precision down to the decimeter. It is possible to change
frequencies on the IALA receiver or change the correction source. Critical data from the D-
GPS receiver are displayed continuously, and these data are weighed together and presented
as a line in the position quality indicator.
For extra clearness, the position quality indicator shifts colors at pre-set breakpoint values.
With an AIM-compatible ADVETO D-GPS, green field indicates a position quality of better
than 1 meter and yellow field a position quality of 1-5 meters. Read field indicates a position
error of 5-10 meters.

• Long approx. 48 hours.
• Recorded, you will find an alternative, by which you can draw a 24-hour
recording without having to replay the entire recording.

Page 127
Trails can be displayed in different ways:

Normal
Shows the ship’s voyage with colored points.
Emphasized
Show the trail with thicker points.
Depth Colors
Shows the depth in the form of points of different colors, where the color of the point
represents the depth from the connected echo sounder. There are two different color schemes,
one for shallow waters and one for deep waters. The color scheme may be changed freely in
the system set-up to suit individual requirements.
Depth Figures
Shows the depth as depth numbers from the connected echo sounder.
If an exact position determination of the depth recording is required, the virtual antenna must
be moved out to the point where the echo-sounder sensor is placed.
N.B. The trail setting does not affect the recording of data from echo sounder. The trail
display type can be changed freely at replay.
Recording of current depth can be corrected for draft and mean water level in the system set-
up; the depth saved in the recording will thereby be the true depth.

8.23 Rulers
There are four different types of rulers used for measuring in the chart.
The standard ruler goes from own ship to the cursor. Information about bearing, distance, and
“time to sail” from ship to cursor is presented in the field “Cursor position” on the symbol
function bar.
The standard ruler is started by either clicking in the field “Cursor position” or pressing the
ruler button on the control unit.
Figure 57. Standard ruler
Three other rulers are activated from the menu.

Information about bearing, distance and time is shown in the chart
picture.

Page 130
8.23.1 Ruler Free

Measures between two optional points in the chart. The ruler moves with each clicking
Figure 58. Ruler Free
8.23.2 Ruler Ship Free

Measures from the ship with unchanged relative bearing and distance.
8.23.3 Ruler Ship Fixed

Measures from the ship and is fixed to any point in the chart, by clicking with pointer,
whereby the ruler continuously will display bearing and distance between the ship and the
locked chart position.
8.24 VRM – EBL - ERBL

This function is enabled by a right-click in the chart
at a position where the VRM/EBL-ruler is wanted.
Choose “Tools”, then pick EBL, VRM or ERBL.
The ruler can have its origin in the conning position
or in any position(free). If the chart pane is in nav
mode when the ruler is created ruler origin is
conning position, otherwise ruler origin is free (not
moving with the ship). The ruler origin can be toggled by pressing <F7>.

Page 131
Figure 29. Rulers
A ruler in free mode can be moved by placing the cursor over the circle showing the origin.
Press the right mouse button and keep it down during movement to a new origin. Release the
mouse button to lock.
For both moving and free rulers bearing/distance values can be changed by using the same
technique as above but on the measuring point.
All ruler actions using keyboard keys implies the cursor placed over origin or measuring
point.
The <F8> key changes the offset of the ruler making the measuring point to a new origin.
Pressing <F8> again will make the conning position to origin. See Figure 41.
Figure 30. Create ruler - Press <F8> for offset - Move the measuring point
The key <F9> toggles the display of bearing between bearing and bow angle.

9.2 AIS transponder and ARPA targets

9.2.1 General
Automatic Identification System, AIS, means that ships equipped with an AIS-transponder,
will transmit their own position (and other data). This data can be presented onboard other
ships.
The AIS-standard is a global world standard according to IMO.
It states that all ships with gross tonnage of over 300 tons must be equipped with AIS.
As a standard, eGlobe has highly advanced possibilities of receiving data from AIS-equipped
ships. The information that can be presented is: name, call signal, MMSI number, speed,
course over ground, heading, position quality, draft, destination and, in addition, the ship’s
actual size.
It is also possible to send text messages to other AIS-equipped ships in the area, e.g. with a
request for passage or the like.
ARPA targets from own radar can be presented in the chart picture the same way as AIS
targets. In addition, EBL and VRM and cursor position from the radar can also be presented
in the chart.
9.2.2 AIS and ARPA presentation in the chart

AIS and ARPA targets are presented in the chart automatically See the figure below.
• AIS targets are presented with their names, e.g. SANDY HOOK.
• Radar targets are presented as ”Radar and a consecutive number”, e.g. Radar601
• A simple presentation of data will be achieved by placing the cursor on the target, e.g.
TANKER
• A ”single click” on the symbol toggles between active and sleeping mode.
• Meteorological information from weather stations can also be displayed in the chart
presentation.
• Aids-to-navigation e.q MALMOE REDD is displayed as a diamond.
• The AIS with MMSI 211000777 is a SAR aircraft
• The AIS Sart is displayed as a circle with a cross.

10 Routes
10.1 General
eGlobe has one of market’s most advanced turn and route handling functions, which
continuously and optimally guides the navigator and supplies information as to how well the
ship follows the route and whether or not the time table will be upheld.
A unique eGlobe function is the dynamic F distance which (slightly simplified) can be
described as the lead required in order to start the turn so that the ship, regardless of its speed,
will actually start turning when it should.
Turning in eGlobe makes use of the internationally recognized methods ”Line of Turn” and
”Wheel over Point”, which offer superior security compared to the more traditional methods
”arrival alarm” and ”bisector”. The difference is illustrated by the figures below.
Idealtrack
Start of turn, normal speed
Start of turn, slow speed
Figure 64. Dynamic F distance
The dynamic F distance automatically considers the ship’s speed, and the “Wheel-over-point”
(WOP) signal is issued in time for the ship to start the turn optimally and be able to carry it
through in a calm and safe manner. The setting of the dynamic F distance can be adapted to
each ship during the system set-up, since the differences are considerable between the
different types of ships.
Idealtrack
Figure 65. Line of Turn

Page 143
With “Line of Turn” turn handling and the dynamic F distance, you will enter the next leg of
the route in an optimal manner, even if you choose to go into the turn wrongly, e.g. due to
passing ship.
Idealtrack
Figure 32. Bisector turn handling
Bisector turn handling produces a parallax error, which is as large when you come out of the
turn as when you enter it.
eGlobe also features the possibility of advanced control of auto pilot and DP system. eGlobe
corrects the auto pilot dynamically so that the ship automatically can follow the route with
very high precision. Integrity is maintained, since eGlobe and the auto pilot exchange data
continuously. In case of impaired integrity, the system automatically issues an alarm.
Please observe that the advanced control of autopilot described above must be approved
before taken into service.
Routes are used for

• planning the voyage
• reference for the Nav instrument’s information about leeway and lateral
divergence
• ETA calculation during the voyage
• Automatic change of scales
• print-out of “voyage plan”
• Information to auto pilot for ”Track” control
Routes can be produced with the following methods:

• Laying waypoints straight the chart picture
• Input of waypoint positions via the keyboard
• Importing an existing route from some other system
• Editing an existing route
10.2 Route settings

Before creating a route, you should check the route settings.

Page 144
Select “Route – Edit Route” on the menu bar.

Enter default values for the following settings at the top of the route editing window:
• Std Radius – the normal turning radius for the ship in question. Proposed values:
Pilot and archipelago boat = 0.1 nm
Catamaran = 0.3
”Manually steered” ship = 0.5
“Radius-steered” ship = 1.0
• StdSpeed – “Cruising speed” for the ship

• Pres – Geodatum in the waypoint list: default = WGS84
• Inp – Geodatum for input of WP: default = WGS84

Page 145
10.3 Route preparation with the cursor

10.3.1 Create new route
If there is already a route on the screen – make sure you save it before you continue!
Select Rout Edit function table to enable route editing functions.
1. Press the button [Route] on the control unit

2. Select [Create New Route] and press the key %.
Alternatively
1. Select [Clear Edited Route] in the menu [Route] by use of the trackball.
Figure 66. Insert waypoints
Waypoints can be inserted in 3different ways

• Press the keyboard key [Insert]
• Press the key [INS] on the control unit
• Right-click and select “Insert Waypoint” in the pop-up window; then left-click to insert a
new waypoint. To complete “Insert Waypoint”, right-click once more and deselect the
ticked box.
1 Place the cursor on the starting-point for the route
2 Insert a new waypoint as described above (creation of WP 0)
3 Place the cursor on the position of waypoint No. 1
4 Insert a new waypoint as described above (WP 1 is created and the name WP 1 is written)
5 Continue according to 3-4 above and lay off all waypoints to be included in the route
Figure 67. Adjust turn radius

Page 146
6 The simplest way to change the turn radius of already laid waypoints is to place the cursor
on the waypoint position; a square cursor is then displayed. You may now adjust the turn
radius by pressing [+] or [–] on the keyboard or control unit.
7 Select the respective waypoint in the Edit route table and enter a suitable name, confirm
with [OK]. This name will then be presented instead of the waypoint number.
8 Define ETA and Auto-Zoom points according to the respective descriptions below.
9 End and save the route with [Route] ⇒ [Save Route as] on the menu bar
10 Enter a suitable name with the keyboard and confirm with [Enter]
The route is now completed and saved; its extension and characteristics can, of course, be
changed at any time. If you want to save a change, select menu item [Route] ⇒ [Save Route]
and changes will be saved permanently.
Tip! The easiest way to create a route is to use a rather large scale to lay waypoints in their
approximate positions and then zoom in and adjust each one carefully. The easiest way to
adjust the waypoint radius is by use of the control unit.
Names, speed limits, etc. (if any) may then be entered by use of the function table Edit route.
When you double-click on a waypoint number in the route editing table, the presentation
jumps to the next waypoint automatically.
As the number of routes grows, it may become easier to open an existing route and change it
to a new destination or pathway, rather than creating a completely new route. When an
existing route has been changed as required, select [Save as] and enter a new route name.
10.3.2 Adjust waypoint position

1. Place the cursor on the WP that needs to be adjusted, so that the waypoint symbol

10.7 Multi Routes

It is a great advantage to be able to handle and use Multi routes.
Depending on different alternative routes, in a fast and flexible way, route can be chosen
depending on weather, meeting with other traffic etc.
10.7.1 Making Multi Routes

It is relatively easy to make Multi Routes:
1. First make a normal route, the main route
2. Make an alternate route
3. Connect the alternate route to the main route
4. Other alternate route can then be made and connected.
First we make the main route as in example below, consists of WP0 to WP5:
Now the first alternate route will be made, remember that WP5 must be the waypoint that the
cursor “last touched”. In other words, do not touch any other waypoint with the cursor!
We will now make an alternate route from WP1, therefore lay cursor somewhere after WP1.
When connecting against the main-route the exact position is not critical, it should be
somewhere between WP1 and WP2.
The new waypoint on picture above is WP6.

Toggle Start Point Status: mark WP6 with cursor then press Shift-key and at the same time
left-click. Now choose “Toggle Start Point Status” as on picture below.

Page 151
Carry on with alternate route by laying out complete alternate-route (WP6-WP7-WP8-WP9)
Mark once again WP6, press Shift-key and left-click, choose

“Connect from Leg”
At last, the other end on the alternate-route (WP9) shall be connected to the main route, mark
WP9, press Shift-key and left-click, choose “Connect To Leg”
Now we shall add another alternate-route. We start by laying some extra WP on the existing

Page 152
route to make it possible for the new alternate-route to have something “to connect to”. (WP8
and WP2)
When adding new alternate-routes it is important that the very last WP in route are “touched”
and marked before we start the work with the alternate-route. If in doubt what WP that is the
very last you can always look in the Route editing table.
When last WP is “touched” lay out a new WP as in picture below, “Toggle Start Point Status”
Lay out next WP according to picture below, “Connect To Leg”
At last, mark WP according to picture, “Connect From Leg”

Page 153
10.7.2 To use Multi Routes

The advantage using Multi Routes is the possibility to, in an easy - quick and flexible way,
change the route you are following. This can be done when weather, meetings with other
ships changes, there is no need for changing and loading another route anymore!
All navigation info from eGlobe will come from the chosen Multi Route: steering
information, instrument info, turning info, ETA etc.
To activate just “click” simply on the alternative (on a WP) that you wish to make active.
Actual alternative will be marked red as in picture below.

11 Database
11.1 General
A database is a file in the computer where information is stored. The database can be
compared to an index or register, where information is arranged systematically.
eGlobe features advanced database management. The databases can be used to supplement
Chart information or to enter own information. A standard set of symbols is delivered with the
program, but you may also draw own symbols or even delete the display of normal buoyage
in the chart and only use databases for the buoyage. Names and text information for database
objects can be displayed in the chart picture.
The database format is Microsoft database format MDB, which makes it easy to develop your
own application outside eGlobe in Microsoft Access.
11.2 Start of database

Starting a database means that its content is presented with symbols on the chart. The
database is then ready for input or editing.
To start a database:
1. Click on “Database ⇒ Start Database” on the menu bar

2. Select a database
3. Click on [Open]
⇒ The database is active.
The name of the active database is displayed at the top of the program header, after selected
route.
11.3 Input into database

Make sure that the database you want is active.
A new database can be created with [Database] ⇒– [New Database] on the menu bar.
11.3.1 Database settings

Select, under [Database] ⇒ [Database settings] on the menu bar, the unit from which the
position should be retrieved, i.e. the cursor position, Virtual Antenna position or GPS antenna
position. Since the virtual antenna can be moved, it is possible to insert a database point
exactly at, for example, the crane jib position when beaconing.

Page 155
Database points can be assigned a name as well as a comment. Under “Name” and
“Comment”, you may select automatic input of time and/or date. The alternative “Enter”
means that for each new point, you will have the possibility to enter name and comment.
The format of entered database points is selected under “Type”, either general or at the input
occasion by the selection “Enter”.
11.3.2 Input of database point

1. Place the cursor on the required position in the chart.
2. Right-click and select [Position to database]
The editing window will pop up, if Name, Comment or Type has been set to “Enter” in the
database settings.
Figure 70. Input of database point
In this window, you may enter name, comment (any length), type. “Usage” is intended for
input of a scale limit for the presentation of the database point.
If you want a text in the chart by the database point, press the button “Text” to display the
right-hand part of the menu. Select text size by clicking on the arrows (the size is presented in
the box); Placement is used to select where, in relation to the database point, to place the text.
The tick boxes to the left of the fields “Name” and “Comment” are used to hide name or
comments for the current database point; as default they are ticked, but may easily be cleared
(no tick) if you do not want display of name or text.
Tip! If you want to lay off a database point with Lat/Lon in a known position, proceed as
described above but enter the position in the Lat/Lon windows.
Click on [OK] to confirm the input.

Right-click and select: [Database edit]
The editing window will pop up:
Any information, including the position, can now be changed by input of the information
from the keyboard: the point may also be deleted or edited by clicking on the respective
buttons.
Confirm by clicking [OK].
11.4 Picture point

Pictures can be linked to a database point. This requires that the database point in question has
been defined as a picture point by ticking the box “Picture point”.
Any picture, stored in the computer in the format JPG
or BMP may then be selected with the button “Select
picture”.
Note that the program ”Aeimage” is assumed to be
stored in the computer under eGlobe.

12 Recording / playback
The voyage with its data from connected sensors is always recorded and cannot be turned off.
ENC source, edition, date, cell and update history are also automatically recorded in same
way as the sensor data above. The voyage can be played back and the data will be presented
on the screen. Recordings are saved per 24 hours with the date used as the file name. All
voyages made last 90 days are stored.
12.1 Recording of data

Data are recorded automatically. Own position data (GPS1-GPS2) are recorded as well as
data from other connected sensors: Gyro or other compass, AIS, Radar, Echo sounder, Wind
meter, etc.
12.2 Auto delete

To avoid that the hard disk becomes full with the risks that this entails, there is a function
which automatically deletes recordings after a certain time (90 days). Actually, the
determining factor is not age in itself, but rather the recording’s file name, which always
represents the date of the recording day in the format ’YYYYMMDD’ (20010101). If you do
not want a recording to be deleted, you should save it with a different name as described
below.
12.3 Save recording as

1. Select the menu “Recording – Save Recording as”
2. Enter a new file name (it may be 255 character long, e.g. the same date with a text added to
it): ’20010101 steering engine breakdown in the Kiel canal’
⇒ The recording is saved permanently
12.4 Playback of data

1. Select “Recording – Open recording” on the menu bar
2. Select the recording you want to play
⇒ The window “Playback” is presented

By increasing the playback speed, you may play a 24-hour recording in only 10 minutes.
1. Click on the buttons ”Increase” or ”Decrease” to select the required speed

(displayed in the window)
12.4.5 Position for playback

The position for the playback can easily be changed by sliding the control lever, thereby
updating the ship’s position, which makes it possible to move quickly to the required place in
the recording.
If the required playback time is known, you may go to the start time by means of fast forward,
thereby avoiding having to play the entire recording from the start, or an optional section can
be repeated.
1. Press the button “Pause”

2. Slide the control lever to the required position or start time
3. Press the button “Play”
12.4.6 End playback

To be able to return to normal navigation, the playback must be stopped.
1. Select “Playback - Close playback” on the menu bar

⇒ The Playback window is closed and own navigation in real time is resumed.
12.4.7 “Water Mark” in recordings

A security-function is implemented in eGlobev3. In every recording there is a “water mark”
that makes it impossible to alter or manipulate the data contained in the recording.
A special test can be performed to test if a recording is authentic or not.

Page 162
12.5 Draw recording on chart

By “drawing” a recording, the trail after the ship can be presented without having to play an
entire 24-hour recording. The presentation of the recording is made according to the settings
on trails with either dots, colored dots according to depth from echo sounder, or depth figures
according to depth from echo sounder.
1. Select ”Recording – Draw Recording” on the menu bar

⇒ The active (opened) recording’s route is drawn on the chart

Page 163
13 Geodetic datums
When a position on the curved surface of the earth is indicated in latitude and longitude, they
correspond to the angle measurements from the center of the earth. In the course of history,
the conception of the earth’s dimension and shape has been revised from time to time. This is
expressed, among other things, in a generalized model of the earth, an ellipsoid that serves as
the basis for the position-indicating circular measures.
Actually, it is impossible to present the earth on a “paper chart”, since the earth is round and a
“paper chart” flat. To achieve a ”paper chart” that corresponds to reality as much as possible,
a large number of ellipsoids with their associated coordinate systems are used in different
countries of the world for map and chart production.
13.1 Presentation of geodetic datums

The presentation is fixed to WGS84. Selection of other Datums is NOT possible. Should
positioning system (e.g. EPFS1) provide a position with any different datum and alarm will be
given by eGlobe.

15.1 Color Differentiation test
The colors in a monitor can change when the monitor ages. Or the mariner may want to use
other setting then the calibrated settings.
For both reasons there is a tool to check that you can clearly see all details of the charts. The
Color Differentiation Test Diagram is a part of ECDIS chart 1 and you can use it as follows:
1. Choose menu “About” – Chart 1
2. Move cursor to “Color Test Diagram” – Click
3. Check with all palettes that you can discriminate the lines from background color
of the boxes.

17.2 Common Terms and Abbreviations explained

AIS
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is a short range coastal tracking system used on
ships and by Vessel Traffic Services (VTS) for identifying and locating vessels by
electronically exchanging data with other nearby ships and VTS stations. Information such as
unique identification, position, course, and speed can be displayed on a screen or an ECDIS.
AIS is intended to assist the vessel's watchstanding officers and allow maritime authorities to
track and monitor vessel movements.
The International Maritime Organization's (IMO) International Convention for the Safety of
Life at Sea (SOLAS) requires AIS to be fitted aboard international voyaging ships with gross
tonnage (GT) of 300 or more tons, and all passenger ships regardless of size. It is estimated
that more than 40,000 ships currently carry AIS class A equipment.
CRS
Or Course Over Ground (COG) is the direction of the path followed by the ship.
DGPS
Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) is an enhancement to Global Positioning
System that uses a network of fixed, ground-based reference stations to broadcast the
difference between the positions indicated by the satellite systems and the known fixed
positions. These stations broadcast the difference between the measured satellite
pseudoranges and actual (internally computed) pseudoranges, and receiver stations may
correct their pseudoranges by the same amount. The correction signal is for maritime use
broadcast over the LW long-wave band between 285 kHz and 325 kHz.
ECS
See ECDIS.
ECDIS
A typeapproved Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is a computer-
based navigation information system that complies with International Maritime Organization
(IMO) regulations and can be used as an alternative to paper navigation charts.
IMO refers to similar systems not meeting the regulations as Electric Chart Systems (ECS).
An ECDIS system displays the information from electronic navigational charts (ENC) and
integrates position information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) and other
navigational sensors, such as radar and automatic identification systems (AIS). It may also

Page 183
display additional navigation-related information.

IMO has proposed compulsory carriage of ECDIS and ENCs on high speed crafts from 1 July
2008 onwards for all new crafts, and from 1 July 2010 onwards for existing crafts.
ENC
An electronic navigational chart (ENC) is an official database created by a national
hydrographic office for use with an Electronic Chart Display and Information System
(ECDIS). An electronic chart must conform to standards stated in the International
Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Only ENCs can be used within ECDIS to meet the
International Maritime Organisation (IMO) performance standard for ECDIS.
ENCs are available through Regional Electronic Navigational Chart Coordinating Centre
(RENCs) and national electronic chart centers. Distributors like the UKHO and PRIMAR
then distribute these to chart agents. In July 2008, the first mandatory requirements for the use
of ENC and ECDIS will become international law.
IHO Special Publication S-63 developed by the IHO Data Protection Security Working Group
is used to commercially encrypt and digitally sign ENC data. Chart data is captured based on
standards stated in IHO Special Publication S-57, and is displayed according to a display
format stated in IHO Special Publication S-52 to ensure consistency of data rendering
between different systems.
EPFS
Electronic Position Fixing System. Can be satellite navigation systems such as: GPS,
GLONASS, GALILEO or earthbound radiofix systems such as: DECCA, LORAN-C,
OMEGA etc.
ETA
Estimated Time of Arrival
GALILEO
Galileo is a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) currently being built by the European
Union (EU) and European Space Agency (ESA). The €3.4 billion project is an alternative and
complementary to the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) and the Russian GLONASS. On
30 November 2007 the 27 EU transportation ministers involved reached an agreement that it
should be operational by 2013.
GLONASS
GLONASS (abbreviation "GLObal NAvigation Satellite System" in English) is a radio-based
satellite navigation system, developed by the former Soviet Union and now operated for the

Page 184
Russian government by the Russian Space Forces.

Development on the GLONASS began in 1976, with a goal of global coverage by 1991.
Beginning on 12 October 1982, numerous rocket launches added satellites to the system until
the constellation was completed in 1995. Following completion, the system rapidly fell into
disrepair with the collapse of the Russian economy. Beginning in 2001, Russia committed to
restoring the system, and in recent years has diversified, introducing the Indian government as
a partner, and accelerated the program with a goal of restoring global coverage by 2009.
Great Circle
The great circle, also known as the Riemannian circle, is the path with the smallest curvature,
and hence, an arc (or an orthodrome) of a great circle is the shortest path between two points
on the surface. The distance between any two points on a sphere is therefore known as the
great-circle distance. The great-circle route is the shortest path between two points across the
surface of a sphere
GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a U.S. space-based global navigation satellite
system. It provides reliable positioning, navigation, and timing services to worldwide users on
a continuous basis in all weather, day and night, anywhere on or near the Earth.
GPS is made up of three parts: between 24 and 32 satellites in Medium Earth Orbit, four
control and monitoring stations on Earth, and the actual navigation devices users own. GPS
satellites broadcast signals from space that GPS receivers use to provide three-dimensional
location (latitude, longitude, and altitude) plus the time.
IMO
IMO is a specialized agency of the United Nations with 169 Member States and three
Associate Members, IMO is based in the United Kingdom with around 300 international staff.
IMO's specialized committees and sub-committees are the focus for the technical work to
update existing legislation or develop and adopt new regulations, with meetings attended by
maritime experts from Member Governments, together with those from interested
intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations.
The result is a comprehensive body of international conventions, supported by hundreds of
recommendations governing every facet of shipping. There are, firstly, measures aimed at the
prevention of accidents, including standards for ship design, construction, equipment,
operation and manning - key treaties include SOLAS, the MARPOL convention for the
prevention of pollution by ships and the STCW convention on standards of training for
seafarers.

Page 185
MOB
Man Over Board
Rhumbline
A rhumb line (or loxodrome) is a line crossing all meridians of longitude at the same angle,
i.e. a path derived from a defined initial bearing. That is, upon taking an initial bearing, one
proceeds along the same bearing, without changing the direction as measured relative to true
north.
