Base Display
Minimum set of information which must always be
displayed and cannot be removed
May be helpful for initial appraisal in the planning
stage and moving the chart display to allow a
faster re-generation of the display.
Base Display cannot be used for navigation

Mariners are warned that positions showed from Global navigation Satellite Systems, such as GPS,
may be more accurate than the charted detail, due to the age and quality of some of the source
Information. Mariners are therefore advised to exercise particular caution when navigating close
to the shore or in the vicinity of dangers.

An understanding of the basics, which may not appear on an ECDIS display monitor.
A navigator must cross the TSS on a heading at
right angles to the general direction of traffic flow and he
needs to appreciate the vessel will be set away from the ship’s heading and thus the predicted ground track needs to be on ECDIS, allowing
for set and drift
Ground Track 148 deg
Course to Steer 135 deg
Set: SW’ly Rate: 3.2 Kts
![Page 31: The need for effective ECDIS display management · The appearance and content of the chart data displayed on ECDIS may change significantly from different settings](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022020215/5b2be7a27f8b9a163e8b96da/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Integrity Monitoring Techniques
Cross check by all available means:
look out of the window as ‘human eyes are
the most valuable tool at a navigator’s
disposal’
manual position fixing (Visual/Radar) comparison of Radar/ARPA overlays observation of a parallel index on the radar monitoring the depth shown by echo sounder checking the track history change sensor if available

No Error

Gyro Error

The implication of getting ECDIS Display Settings wrong will certainly result in the loss of the navigator’s situational awareness and thus lead to more incidents (i.e. Collision, grounding etc.) and near misses.
