Safe Navigation Settings is used to set alarm limits for the safe navigation calculations.
Air Draught is the total height of the ship over the water.
Safe Distance is the horizontal clearance to dangerous
objects. Alarms are raised in advance and Warning Time is
the amount of time in advance. Before the ship is crossing the
wheel-over-line an alarm is given and the Wheel-Over-Alarm
specifies how long before.
When the ship is entering an area for which an alarm is
raised, the mariner can choose to use As Indication instead of As Alarm. The main difference
is that for an indication the buzzer is not activated. The choice of alarm or indication is made
by clicking one of the radio buttons labeled Special Condition Areas.
Warning areas (closed polygons) can be loaded in the ECDIS. The display of and inside check
of warning areas can be switched on/off with the check boxes.
Display of the guard zone used for ant grounding calculations can be switched on/off with the
[Display Guard Zone]-checkbox. The guard zone is displayed only as long as the [Safe

Chart objects can have attributes specifying conditions varying in time, for instance a bird
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.

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
ships turn center. This avoids parallax and position errors
5.2
Vector
The vector is the simplest type of prediction, which
only shows speed and course over ground. The
5.3
Predictor
predictor, which

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 programs 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

Full Predictor
The full predictor is a highly advanced graphical presentation of the
integrated result of the ships heading projection, speed and course
over ground and rate of turn. In addition to the turn prediction, this
predictor also shows the ships 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.

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.

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.

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 ships
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 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

10 Routes
10.1 General
eGlobe has one of markets 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
The dynamic F distance automatically considers the ships 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
August 2012
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
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.

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.

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.

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.
August 2012
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.
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.

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 earths 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.

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.

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 computerbased 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
August 2012
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.

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

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.

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.
