PC Chartplotter, Electronic PC Chartplotters, and Marine Electronics |
||||
A PC Chartplotter is a device used in marine navigation that integrates GPS data with an electronic navigational chart (ENC) and a Personal Computer (PC). The chartplotter displays the ENC along with the position, heading and speed of the ship, and may display additional information from radar, automatic information systems (AIS) or other sensors. As appropriate to particular marine applications, chartplotters may also display data from other sensors, such as echolocators/sonar.
Electronic chartplotters always require a processor, or sometimes multiple processors. It is a feature of the implementation, and sometimes of regulatory requirements, whether the processor is a general-purpose one that can run other applications, or must be dedicated to the chartplotter application. Considerable processing power and video memory can be needed, especially when the chartplotter generates three-dimensional displays, as used for fishing. |
