Overall operation related changes
Navigation sensors
• If position alignment is used then user is reminded of it every 30 minutes. Alarm "2011 ChartAlign: over 30
min".
• In multiple sensor case the Kalman filter indicates changes in its position sources with a new alarm "2010
Filter: Pos source change".
• Kalman filter uses always higher priority for known high precision position sensors than for normal position
sensors (i.e. A DGPS has always higher influence to estimate than a GPS or LORAN)
• Alarm "4027 DGPS pos source change" uses now always a continuous beep until acknowledged. Before the
beep style was dependent of the steering mode. Also the priority of this alarm is readjusted (before some less
important alarm could suppress it in the priority list).
• Alarm "2008 Filter. Speed below 4kt" is now based on ground speed (before water speed). The Kalman filter
indicates this situation also with an permanent indication of BAD FILTER.
• Reference target based gyro error correction has now an alarm for lost correction value. Alarm "2353 RefTgt:
Lost gyro corr.".
• Activation of Reference target requires that there is at least 8 free tracking channels available. If the connected
ARPA radar has less than 8 free tracking channels then there is an alarm "2353 RefTgt: Tracking full".
Route Monitoring
• Selection of "Center and border lines for ARPA radar display" .in route monitoring window is dependent of
used radar display type.
• Alarm "2457 Route: Outside channel limit" is activated once when the ship goes out of the channel limits.
Before the alarm was reactivated every 5 minute. NOTE the permanent indication of "OUTSIDE CHANNEL"
operates as before and give always an indication of route tracking status.
Past Tracks
Own ship has now three separate past tracks:
• "System", which is the past track of the system position used for navigation and steering.
• "Primary", which is the past track of a position sensor selected as Primary.
• "Secondary", which is the past track of position sensors selected as Secondary.
Speed Vectors
• There is now a selection between true and relative speed vectors for own ship and ARPA targets. Before only
true vectors were available.

•Changes since release 02.01
Radar echo overlay
• There is now a selection between true and relative radar echo trails. Before only relative trails were available.
Details log
• details log for last 12 hours include now course over ground and gyro correction in order to provide more
complete recording
Chart related changes
S57 and ARCS charts
• chart display has more alternatives to individually select visibility of different text on chart
• Info Request has now transparent area fill for better indication of the area in question
• Info Request show now the coded text for each picked object. Before only attributes and their values were
available. This change eases for example usage of light descriptions.
S57 Chart
• Chart Catalogue uses colour coding to indicate up-to-date chart and non up-to-date charts.
• Telecomm order of Charts and updates open now automatically "Order queue window" and inform the user
about end of orders when all requested transactions are complete.
Steering related changes
Goto Track steering mode requires Kalman filter and a high precision position sensor such as DGPS, new alarms
related to it are:
• alarm "2491 Disabled: Needs diff pos."
• alarm "2492 Route: Needs diff pos."
Program Track Turn steering mode requires Kalman filter and a high precision position sensor such as DGPS, new
alarms related to it are:
• alarm "2493 ProgTurn: Needs filter ON."
• alarm "2494 ProgTurn: Needs diff pos."
• alarm "2495 ProgTurn: Needs log sens.."
Display of curved EBL shows correctly "program course changes" of more than 180 degrees.

Overall operation changes
Route Planning
• The maximum value of radius in a waypoint has been increased from 2.0 nm to 3.0 nm.
Chart related changes
S57 charts
• Compatibility with the official encrypted ENC chart service from a RENC has been added. This service is
available using CD-ROMs and Telecomm, see chapter "Introduction to the S57 charts service from a RENC"
• Load using CD Catalogue identifies the issue data of a CD-ROM, see "How to load S57 Charts from a CD-
ROM, floppy or LAN"
• Load using CD Catalogue has a new selector "Missing only", see chapter "How to load S57 Charts from a CD-
ROM, floppy or LAN"
• Remove has been added in Load or View CD Catalogue "How to load S57 Charts from a CD-ROM, floppy or
LAN"
• A world chart at scale 1:12 000 000 has been added as a backdrop in the Catalogue. It makes easier to view the
coverage of S57 charts.

Changes since release B1.16
Overall operation related changes
Unused push button “Cursor mode” of the Control panel has been renamed as “Radar” and it controls ARPA target
source and a new feature radar overlay.
Voyage recording has following new features
• Current alarms - a window to view the queue of current alarms
• Chart Usage - a detailed log of chart usage
• Reset Trip counter - reset for added trip counter
• “Record” flip card has been added to take care of recording of the position fixes. Alternative
position fixes to be recorded are: Connected position sensor, Kalman filter, Dead reckoning,
Visual, Astronomical and MFDF.
• Used time zone (which is always UTC) is indicated in “Chart Usage Log”
Following features of the Voyage recording has been changed:
• Details log - limited chart usage log previously available has been moved to chart usage
Route Planning has following new features:
• Passage Plan - A combine report from Route Plan and Pilot Data
• Total length of the planned route is now easier available than before. Total length has been
included in standard WP and Params sheets of the Route Plan. Before the total length was
only available from Report of the Route Plan.
• Route Plan window has now an indicator to show if the planned route is currently selected as
visible on ECDIS chart screen. This has been added to remove confusion about non visible
items. Indicator has following alternatives: “displayed”, “not displayed” and “partly
displayed”
User Chart has following new features:
• If the Symbol-field of a Symbol-object is empty, then the content of the Name-field is
displayed on ECDIS screen.
• A Report has been added for Area Objects
• Combine - a feature to easily import all objects from other user charts instead of individually
importing them.
• Drawing Point has been renamed as Point. To ease the use of User Chart the system can now
operate without any point defined, if the User Chart has less than 60 lines and 20 symbols.
• “Tidal” flip card has been added to control user defined symbols of actual and predicted tidal
information.
• User Chart edit ergonomic has been improved
• Each User Chart item window has now an indicator to show if the used feature is
currently selected as visible on ECDIS chart screen. This has been added to
remove confusion about non visible items. Indicator has following alternatives:
“displayed”, “not displayed” and “partly displayed”
• User Char “Line” item has been changed to indicate a small cross at line start when
the line end is not yet defined. This removes confusion about acceptance of the
line start point.
