The colour of the object and how it will change in night mode.
Which type of electronic chart is considered to have intelligence when used on ECDIS?
A digital vector chart.
A digital raster chart.
None as only humans have intelligence.
Non official charts.
Why is it important that an approved method is used for the conversion of ENC to SENC?
Because the conversion process allows the chart electronic files to be converted properly.
Because the process is always completed by the retailer and they know how to do it.
Because the raster chart would not be seen if you did not.
It is important as the ECDIS is intelligent.
Why is it important to have the same datum for chart and navigation signal when using ECDIS?
Because navigation positions can be plotted directly on the chart.
It is not important as ECDIS can cope with any datum.
Because the attributes on the symbols will not be understood by the ECDIS.
Because the operator will not be able to change the plotted positions.
Why is it that some ECDIS devices show symbols that look different for the same object?
The ECDIS manufacturer interpreted the S57 standard differently.
The differences come from the raster chart data set.
The speed of the ECDIS computer varies so the shapes can be different.
They should all display the same shape and looking symbols.
Why will a VAR sometimes convert an ENC file to a SENC file?
To save time on the vessel.
The VAR does this to check the contents of the file.
The ENC cannot be loaded directly onto the ECDIS on board the vessel.
It is a necessary part of the data protection process.
