Ecdis Materi

An expert system summarizes a document about ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) standards and functions: 1. ECDIS is required to display hydrographic data and provide appropriate alarms or indications. A faulty GPS does not negate ECDIS navigation but should be corrected. 2. ECDIS benefits include simple ENC updating, reducing workload, and providing alarms for safety contour crossing or prohibited areas. 3. Chart information must come from authorized hydrographic offices and conform to IHO standards.
