ECDIS — the safety contour and the safety depth

AUS-WKD-Y-M3 · Navigation in Practice · AUS-WKD-Y-M3-A Position, chart, radar, tide

ECDIS is not a chart on a screen. It is a **navigational system** that reads a vector database, applies your settings, and generates alarms on the strength of them. The settings are not preferences. They are the parameters of the alarm that will or will not wake you up.
