As with pop-up menus, when a database list is on-screen, a set of associated soft keys is also displayed; use the trackpad to select an item from the list, then use the appropriate function to edit the item, e.g. a Waypoint or a Route can be erased.
1.2 Satellite Differential System
The RC435 GPS Antenna utilizes a satellite differential correction system to improve the accuracy and integrity of the basic GPS signals. Three separate compatible systems currently exist or are in development: 1. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). Developed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the USA. 2. European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS). This system is being developed by a European consortium.
3. The MTSAT Satellite-Based Augmentation System (MSAS). Being developed by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) for civil aviation use. 1 Overview The area covered by the WAAS system includes the entire United States of America but also extends to a much wider area as detailed below.

D4910-1

Figure 1-2: WAAS Coverage Map The combination of the WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS systems will provide global satellite based differential GPS augmentation into the future.

How it Works

The following description is based on WAAS, but the principles apply equally to the EGNOS and MSAS systems. WAAS comprises the following components: Ground Reference Stations across the USA. Master Stations located at East Coast and West Coast. Geostationary Satellites located above the equator.
The Ground Reference Stations are located at known positions and receive data continuously from GPS. The Ground Reference Stations send their data to the Master Stations which calculate the error of the GPS-received positions and generate correctional data.
Raychart 435 Chartplotter - Owners Handbook The corrected differential signals are then sent to the two Geostationary Satellites which broadcast the corrected data on the standard GPS frequency, making it available to the GPS Antenna. The RC435 GPS uses the correctional data transmitted by the Geostationary Satellites to refine the basic GPS positional data for greater accuracy.

D4903-1

Figure 1-3: The WAAS System
Availability of WAAS and EGNOS signals
The WAAS system is presently broadcasting in North America. The Raychart 435 Chartplotter is EGNOS compatible. However, at the time of going to print the EGNOS was still under test. Further information on the WAAS and EGNOS systems can be found at: http://www.raymarine.com
Broadcast Continuation and Accuracy
The continuation of the broadcast SD signals is not the responsibility of Raymarine. The navigational accuracy of equipment using these satellite broadcast SD signals is not guaranteed.

2.1 Introduction

This chapter provides information and instructions to allow you to start using your Raychart 435 Chartplotter. It is intended to help you familiarize yourself with the controls before you start using the chartplotter for routine navigation. Note: There is often more than one method of performing a particular task. Normal operating procedures are detailed in Chapter 3. When you are familiar with the system you can adapt these procedures to suit your method of operation.

Simulator

The Chartplotter display unit includes a Simulator mode, which allows you to practice operating your chartplotter without live GPS data. Section 2.3, Simulator Mode describes how you can switch to this mode. Simulator mode can be used in the following situations: Before the chartplotter has been installed on your vessel. Connect the Chartplotter display unit to a 12V DC power supply, fused at 1A, connecting the red core from the power lead to positive (+) and the black core to negative (-); see Chapter 5 for full details. Once the chartplotter has been installed on your vessel and while in a marina or otherwise at anchor.

3.1 Introduction

This chapter explains how to use the chart functions to navigate with the Raychart 435.

Safety

The Raychart 435 makes it very easy to mark a waypoint and travel towards it. However, always check first that the route is safe. If you are using the chartplotter in combination with an autopilot, the autopilot will normally prompt for confirmation before it steers the vessel towards a waypoint. If a route has been entered using a less detailed chart, zoom in for more detail to check for hazards, such as small shoals, that may not be shown on the less detailed charts. Note: Until you are familiar with interpreting the chart display, you should take every opportunity to compare the displayed objects with visual targets, such as buoys and coastal structures. You should practice harbour and coastal navigation during daylight and in clear weather conditions. The equipment should not be used as a substitute for good navigational practice. 3 Operation

3.3 Working with Routes

A route is made up of a series of waypoints (maximum 50). A route is made by placing a series of waypoints on the chart. When a route is created it becomes the current route and is displayed onscreen. The current route is maintained after power-off. Only one route can be current and is displayed (if it is in the field-of-view) as solid lines connecting waypoints. If following the route, the current leg is shown as a dotted line. After a route has been created, the GOTO key can be used to follow the route. The GOTO key provides various other options as described in Section 3.4, Following Routes and Going to Target Points. Up to 20 routes can be saved in the route database. Any one of these can be selected from the database to be used as the current route. The current route can be edited by adding and/or moving waypoints. When a route has been saved, options are also provided to name or erase a route. This section explains how to perform the following tasks: Create a new route. Save the current route in the database. Clear the current route. Retrieve a route from the database list as the current route.
Raychart 435 Chartplotter - Owners Handbook Display route information, including route leg data and waypoint details. Use the database list to erase and name existing routes. Edit a route by adding, removing and moving waypoints.
Note: The system is limited to 500 unique waypoints yet 20 routes of 50 waypoints as stated above are permissible. This figure is achieved by using waypoints in more than one route.
To access the route function bar:
2. Select ROUTES to display the first level functions.
3. Select MORE to see more functions. 3 Operation
4. Select MORE again to return to the first level functions. 5. Press CLEAR twice to return to chart mode.

Creating a New Route

Note: If there is a current route on screen, it is cleared when MAKE ROUTE is selected. Ensure that this route is saved before continuing. If following the current route you must STOP FOLLOW (see page 49) before a new route can be created. Waypoints in a route can be added/removed after it has been created, either via the ROUTES function or via the cursor (see Editing a Route in the following sections).

To save and name the current route:
1. Select ROUTES, followed by MORE. 2. Select SAVE ROUTE. The Save Route list is displayed. 3. The next available entry on the list is highlighted. If required, use trackpad up/down to select another position in the list; this can be a blank slot, or an existing route no longer required.

D4680_1

4. Press ENTER to save the route. Press ENTER again (in response to the prompt) to name the route or CLEAR to save as the default ROUTE XX, where XX is the next available number. When naming a route, use the trackpad to move the cursor right or left to the character to be edited. Use trackpad up/down to scroll through the characters. The name can contain up to eight alphanumeric characters, including spaces. 5. Press ENTER to finish and clear the Route List, then press CLEAR twice to return to the chart mode.
Clearing the Current Route from the Screen
To clear the current route from the screen, select CLEAR ROUTE. If the current route has not been saved, you are prompted to save it.
To clear the current route from the screen:
1. Select ROUTES or place the cursor over a route leg until the leg data is displayed in the Status Bar. 2. Select CLEAR ROUTE and press ENTER to clear the route or press CLEAR to cancel the operation. 3. If the route has not been saved, a prompt gives the options ENTER to save or CLEAR to remove the route from the screen. 4. To save the route in the database, press ENTER. The Name Route functions are displayed, see Saving the Current Route on page 36.
Retrieving a Route from the Database
A route from the database list can be selected as the current route. The list is accessed from the second set of ROUTES functions.
To select a route as the current route:
1. Select ROUTES, followed by MORE, then ROUTE LIST. The route list is displayed with the currently selected route highlighted (Figure 3-2 ). 2. Select SHOW ROUTE. The route list is removed and the selected route is shown on screen as the current route.

If no GOTO or follow is in progress, the steering instruction is NOT TRACKING, no steering arrows are shown, but the rhumb line indicator is shown. The graphical XTE indication will place arrows either side of the steering instruction and pointing towards it dependent on the difference between COG and bearing to Waypoint. The first arrow is shown when the difference reaches 5 and thereafter at 5 intervals.

Waypoint Data

The Waypoint Data display comprises text data occupying the whole screen.

D6243-1

Figure 3-7: Waypoint Data If a route is not selected, the ROUTE field displays NO ROUTE. The WAYPOINT field shows the name of the waypoint. If the waypoint is part of a route then the title field includes the waypoint index in the route. If there is no target waypoint the text indicates NO WAYPOINT and all waypoint data is shown as dashes, one per character. If a route is being followed and the waypoint is not named, the text shows the waypoint number within the route (as displayed on screen). If a GOTO Cursor or Port is in progress, the text indicates GOTO CURSOR or GOTO Port Name.
Chapter 3: Operation BRG, RNG and XTE data relate to the target waypoint.
Time refers to time data which is acquired from GPS information. Any local time offset is set in the System Set Up menu, see Chapter 4. The Time To Go (TTG) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) data relate to the target waypoint (not the whole route) and are based on the Speed Over Ground (SOG) towards the target. If the VMG is negative, or data is not available, these fields are replaced by dashes, one per character. The steering instruction is STEER STARBOARD if the XTE is 0.01nm or more to port, STEER PORT if the XTE is 0.01nm or more to starboard or ON COURSE if XTE is less than 0.01 on either side. If no GOTO or follow is in progress, the steering instruction is NOT TRACKING, no steering arrows are shown, but the rhumb line indicator is shown. The graphical XTE indication places arrows either side of the rhumb line indicator and pointing towards it, dependent on the value of XTE. The first arrow is shown when the XTE reaches 0.01nm, the second at.05nm and subsequently at 0.1nm intervals. Note: The steering instruction and graphical XTE indication are repeated on all text-only displays.

To set the position data manually:
1. Display the Position functions as described for Sunrise/Sunset display above. 2. Select SET POSITION then either: i. VESSEL POSITION which sets the position to the current position of the vessel, or ii. SELECT POSITION which enables specific Latitude/Longitude data to be entered. Use cursor left/right to select individual characters to edit. Use cursor up/down to select the required character. iii.Press ENTER to complete, or CLEAR to abort, the change(s).
3.6 Transferring Waypoints and Routes
There are two methods of transferring waypoints and routes. The first is via the NMEA interface and the seconds is via the Gold Chart card. The transferring to and from the Gold Chart card is described in the Using Archives section on page 62.

Displayed Waypoints

Waypoints and routes can be received and transmitted via NMEA, see also Chapter 5, Installing the Chartplotter on page 100. The NMEA link could be to a PC, typically via a spare RS232 COM port.

Managing Database Lists

The SEND WAYPOINTS function sends all waypoints in the Waypoint List and all routes in the Route List. Sending the Waypoint List does not affect current routes. Note: Sending the Waypoint List includes waypoints in an unsaved route. The RECEIVE WAYPOINTS function adds waypoints and routes received via NMEA to the Waypoint List and Route List. Note: Where multiple waypoints have the same position, the last waypoint sent is the only one included in the Waypoint List.
To send waypoints (and route lists):
1. In chart mode, press ENTER; the primary function bar is displayed:
3. Select WAYPOINT LIST. The Waypoint List is displayed, with its associated function bar:
4. Initiate receiving of waypoints on the NMEA compatible equipment. 5. Select WPT/ROUTE TRANSFER. The waypoint transfer functions are displayed:
6. Select SEND WAYPOINTS and press ENTER; the text changes to STOP SENDING. 7. To stop waypoint transfer, press ENTER.
To receive waypoints and route lists:
1. Display the Waypoint List as previously described, then select WPT/ ROUTE TRANSFER. 2. Select RECEIVE WAYPOINTS and press ENTER; the text changes to STOP RECEIVING and remains selected. 3. Initiate sending waypoints on the NMEA compatible equipment. 4. To stop waypoint transfer, press ENTER. Note: If either the Waypoint List or Route List becomes full, a warning is displayed and the operation is terminated.
