A '''Chartplotter''' is a device used in marine [[navigation]] that integrates [[GPS]] data with an [[Electronic navigational chart| electronic navigational chart (ENC)]]. The chartplotter displays the ENC along with the position, heading and speed of the ship, and may display additional information from [[radar]], [[Automatic Identification System|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]].
Line 28:
Safety-related [[Automatic Identification System|Automatic identification systems (AIS)]], required on all passenger vessels and vessels of 300 tons and over, also assist in piloting, and can display on the chartplotter. AIS have collision avoidance, and avoidance of known hazards such as reefs, as their primary function. AIS depend on cooperative data communications among ships. [[Vessel Traffic Service|Vessel traffic services (VTS)]] go even farther as safety systems, being analogous to the proactive function of air traffic control systems. VTS assist vessel traffic control in routing vessels in busy waters. Other vessel-based safety collision avoidance functions are [[Automatic Radar Plotting Aid| Automatic Radar Plotting Aids (ARPA)]], usually a component of the radar system or an accessory to it, and coupled with the radar system input to the chartplotter.
