Part 1 -Introduction
The B&G LCD Plotter is a fully integrated chart plotting system which
displays information combined from your position fixer and instrument
system (if available), and presents it in a flexible but easy to use format.
Information is fed from your position fixer and/or instrument system and
may be viewed in a choice of display configurations.
Flexible, user friendly software allows for easy programming and
operation. To access a chart, simply install a Navionics
MICROCHART, then using the cursor buttons, zoom into any degree
of detail from an overall view to a close up showing objects as small as
3m (10 ft) in size.
