radar overlay

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

gatotom,

In 2013, E-Series Widescreen MFDs (E90W, E120W, E140W) and the new e-Series MFDs were both available. Should you have an E-Series Widescreen installed onboard the vessel, then installation of an EV-1 Sensor Core would indeed permit the Chart application's radar overlay feature to be utilized. However, should the vessel be equipped with one of the new e-Series MFDs or an eS-Series MFD, then there are two ways in which the Chart applications of these MFDs will support radar overlay:
- if interfaced to a heading data source (ex. EV-1 Sensor Core, etc.). When interfaced to a source of heading data, the Chart application's radar overlay feature may be swithed ON at any time that the MFD has a GPS position FIX.
- if operating with the latest a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD software, underway, and making way, then the MFD will support use of COG should the MFD not be interfaced to a source of heading data. The Chart application's radar overlay feature cannot be accessed/configured ON when the vessel is stationary (i.e. a stationary vessel has not COG).
