To get the most out of your chartplotter, you should set up the basic data and customize the display, as described in Chapter 6. Once you have explored the display possibilities, you may wish to return to the customization and make further changes (see Section 6. 3). This chapter covers the following topics: · Using marks and events · Recording and displaying track histories · Man Overboard (MOB) · Controlling alarms and timers Marks & Events 4. 2 Marks and Events The chartplotter allows you to place symbols to record marks or events. You have a choice of 16 symbols that can be used for both marks and events. Marks and events differ in the following ways: · Marks are used to record features at the cursor position, such as fishing buoys and anchorages. They are only graphical symbols, and you cannot edit them or add information. · Events are used to record features at your vessel's current position, such as a good fishing spot. The chartplotter assigns a unique identifier to each event, in the format xxxEVT, where xxx is the next available number. The events are stored in the waypoint list, and can be recalled and edited later (see Chapter 5). The Danger Zone mark ( ) has an associated invisible exclusion zone around it. You can specify the radius of the exclusion zone as part of your setup procedure (see Section 6. 2). For the first nine danger zones, if your vessel enters the zone, an alarm will sound. Note: The danger zone alarm is only available for the first nine danger zones. [. . . ] Man OverBoard National Marine Electronics Association (interconnection standard) Speed Over Ground.
