Note!
Insert or remove C-MAP cartridges ONLY through SETUP menu or when
unit is off. All electronic navigation equipment is subject to external factors
beyond the control of the manufacturer. Therefore such equipment must be
regarded as an aid to navigation. The prudent navigator will, for that reason,
never rely on a single source for position fixing and navigation.

CE34/44/54 Introduction and safety summary
Chapter 1-1
1.1 Introduction and system familiarization
Congratulations on your purchase of SIMRAD CE34/44/54 ChartSounder
- a combination of the latest GPS and SDGPS receiver technology and optional
built-in differential receiver for accurate positioning, plus: detailed cartography
and high performance echosounder; all in a unique slim-line design with a bright
7” TFT (CE34), 10” ATFT/TFT (CE44) or 15” TFT (CE54) color display.
The electronic chart system includes a built-in world chart for rough planning
and overview. The choice of chart system best suitable for the CE34/44/54 was
carefully singled out to be the C-MAP NT+ mini cards. The optional C-MAP
charts are available world-wide at your local Simrad dealer.
The echosounder system with selectable frequencies will provide an impression
of Bottom expansion, VRM expansion, Shift, A-scope and White line.
The Global Positioning System is at this time and age the most common system
used for navigation and positioning all over the world. Not only for maritime use,
but also for land-based applications and aviation. The satellite-based system has
been developed and is operated by the US Department of Defense in order to
provide an accurate and reliable service, which include a 24-hour global coverage. The GPS system consists of approx. 24 satellites which orbit around the
Earth at an altitude of approx. 20,200 km.
The satellites transmit perfectly synchronized data. However, depending on the
position, the signals will reach the receiver at a slightly different time. By adding
the measured time difference to the known position of the satellites it is possible
to calculate the ship’s position to within a few meters.
The SimNet data and control network provides high speed data transfer and control between Simrad products that are integrated as a total navigation, steering
and communication system on board.
DS34/44/54 Dual Station for the CE34/44/54 is available with a bright 7” TFT,
10” ATFT/TFT or 15” TFT color display. The main unit and the dual station are
identical in design and operation.
How to use this manual? This manual is written for the products: CE34, CE44
and CE54, which mainly share the same type of software. From hereon, these
models will be referred to as: CEXX.
It is a good idea if you make yourself familiar with the key functions, menu
structure and rotation of pages (screens) described in chapter 2 before you start
out, and then proceed with section 2.7 Initial start-up. For quick location of a
certain term, please check the “Glossary of terms” and the “Index” at the back of
the manual. Also, “How to get started” further on in this chapter will give you a
Chapter 1-2

Precaution: Do not open the equipment, only qualified persons should work
inside the equipment. If the glass in the screen breaks, be carefull not to get cut
on the sharp edges of the glass pieces.
The lifetime of the internal battery is minimum 5 years. If not exchanged
before it goes flat, all data in the unit’s memory will be lost. We strongly
recommend that you frequently store your data on a Simrad DataCard. For
exchange of battery, call your local Simrad workshop.
Power source, fuse and power cable: Check that the DC power supplied to the
unit is within the range of 10 to 32 volts. Note that the appropriate fuse must
be employed (see the fuse rating in section 9.4 Specifications). Ensure that the

Chapter 2-1
SIMRAD CE44
2.1 Fundamentals of the display and page system
The CE34/44/54 ChartSounder has a multi-function screen and
data presentation system with full screen and different types of split
screens. The series of pages under the function keys (situated in a
vertical row to the right of the display) will in most situations be sufficient information for the operator.
In split screens consisting of up to four displays, the active display
is indicated by a solid red frame. Use the [WIN] key to clockwise
toggle between which display on the screen is active. Only active
displays are operable.
The [PAGE] key differs from the other function keys. There are
three pages under the [PAGE] key which can be set up to the presentation you prefer by exchanging an existing display in the PAGE
system with a new one selected from a function key or via the menu
- see next page. Single press on the [PAGE] key will toggle between
the active pages under the function keys e.g.:
Chart with
data field
Echo display
with A-scope
Highway display
Chapter 2-2
CE34/44/54 Fundamentals & initial start-up
Long press on the [PAGE] key will start a
rotation of the three pages in intervals of
5 seconds (increase/decrease the time in
[MENU], [6], [1]). Press any key to stop
rotation.
2.1.1 Example of how to exchange a page in the PAGE system
The three pages in the PAGE system are collected from the CHART,
ECHO and PILOT menus in the sequence of which the function keys
appear on the keypad ie. the first page is from the CHART function,
the second page is from the ECHO function and the third page is
from the PILOT function. This sequence can not be changed, only
the choice of display collected from each function can be changed
e.g.:
PAGE
Press the [PAGE] key until the full screen Chart display appears
MENU
Call up the menu bar, and...
1,2
collect the Dual Chart display
- or you can toggle between the available displays in the CHART
function by pressing (long press) the [CHART] key repeatedly.
The same applies for the other two pages in the PAGE system ie.
press the [PAGE] key until a display from the ECHO or PILOT
function appears and then collect a new display from the appropriate
menu.
The display sequence under the function keys is the same as the
display sequence in the matching menu.
2.1.2 Example of how to select a new display in a custom screen
In custom screens with multiple window combinations, all displays, which are not main function displays, are exchangeable. It is
also possible to change the right half of the screen from half screen
window to two quarter windows and vice versa. Example:
MENU
Call up the menu bar, and...

4. Echosounder operation
The echosounder function of the CEXX determines the distance
between its transducer and underwater objects such as fish, lake
bottom or sea bed. It does this by utilizing the fact that an ultrasonic
wave transmitted through water travels at a nearly constant speed
of 4800 feet (1500 meters) per second. When a sound wave strikes
an underwater object such as fish or sea bottom, part of the sound
wave is reflected back toward the source. Thus by calculating the
time difference between the transmission of a sound wave and the
reception of the reflected sound wave, the depth to the object can be
determined.
The entire process begins in the display unit. Transmitter power is
sent to the transducer as a short pulse of electrical energy. The electrical signal produced by the transmitter is converted into an ultrasonic signal by the transducer and transmitted into the water. Any
reflected signals from intervening objects (such as a fish school)
are received by the transducer and converted back into an electrical signal. It is then amplified in the amplifier section, and finally,
displayed on the screen.
The picture displayed is made up of a series of vertical scan lines
(pings), one for each transmission. Each line represents a ‘snapshot’
of what has occurred beneath the boat. The series of snapshots are
accumulated side by side across the screen, and the resulting contours of the bottom and fish between the bottom and surface are
displayed.
Selecting echosounder displays
The CEXX provides various types of echosounder displays: standard echogram, bottom expansion (zoom), VRM expansion, and shift
mode. Each display has its special advantages. Select the appropriate setup for the echosounder display in the presentation “Setup”
and “Echosounder setup” displays, considering current sea area and
target fish.

Range start – allows the user to set the displayed depth range to
begin at some point below the surface. For example, a 100 meter displayed range can be “phased” downwards, so that the screen shows
a 100 meter section beginning at, say, 200 meters and going to 300
meters depth.
Range – refers to the distance shown from the top to the bottom of
Chapter 4-8
CE34/44/54 Echo menu
the display screen. Selecting Auto range will cause the CEXX to
change the basic range setting(s) to keep the displayed bottom in
the lower half of the display. For instance, as your boat moves into
deeper waters, the system will automatically switch to a deeper
range, always keeping the displayed bottom in the lower half of the
display. Manual range allows the operator to set the range displayed
on the screen.
Gain – is another way of saying “sensitivity”, or possibly “volume”.
Increasing the gain setting of the CEXX will allow you to see smaller
and deeper targets. If the gain is set too high, however, you will begin
to see “noise” and unwanted targets. Generally speaking, you want to
set the gain control just below the point that you begin to see speckles
of “noise” between surface and the bottom on the screen.
White line – is a control which places a white/black line at the
displayed sea floor and blanks out 4 pixels just below the line. The
purpose of this is to help the user detect targets, such as fish, which
are very close to the sea floor and whose echoes tend to merge with
those of the sea floor itself.
Expansion window (zoom level) – can be selected in eight steps,
ranging from 1 to 50 meters, or converted to feet or fathoms (refer
to Setup for units, section 8.4). This function allows you to take a
closer look at a particular section of the water underneath your boat.
You can expand the view near the bottom (Bottom expansion) or
near the Variable Range Marker (VRM expansion).
TVG – Time Varying Gain – is a control that allows the CEXX to
make corrections for most of the losses and absorption that occurs as
sound energy passes through sea water. There are three settings to
choose from, Normal, Special and OFF.
The setting “Normal (20 log R) is for general fish finding at depths
down to 50m (150’) and it will also give a uniform bottom echo presentation at shallow, mid and deep water.
The setting “Special (40 log R) will adjust the TVG to show the same
echo strength for a given size fish at varying depths.
The OFF position is used for net sounders. In OFF position the TVG
is inactive which means that the sounder operates with a fixed gain
between each transmitter pulse. Auto range is switched to manual.
Ping to ping filter – can be set to either on or off. With the filter
“off”, then each received echo will be reflected on the screen.
Whereas with the filter “ON”, the system will compare every two
CE34/44/54 Echo menu
Chapter 4-9
echoes received and only reflect on the screen what is received from
both echoes, which will give a more uncluttered recording.
Signal threshold – can be set to ON to eliminate the appearance
of unwanted noise. The threshold level is automatic and the feature
should be used with caution, as it may eliminate small fish and small
unidentified objects on the screen.
Color threshold – the color threshold function allows the “weaker”
targets and noise which may be shown on the display screen to be
eliminated from the display. These targets are usually shown in the
weaker target colors such as blues and greens. The Color threshold allows you to choose not to display the blues, or the blues and
greens, etc. Doing this will leave only the stronger targets on the
display screen.
Depth grid - enables a more precise reading of depth and target relations across the screen.
Transmit pulse length – can be set OFF to observe noise in the
water (Auto range will switch to manual mode). Set to AUTO, the
optimum setting will be applied according to the water depth. Or it
can be set manually, if a specific pulse length is required:
SHORT
MEDIUM
LONG
less than 10m deep water
between 10 and 50 m deep water
more than 50m deep water
A long pulse will reach deeper but give less resolution.
Transmit power – should normally be left on AUTOmatic.
CE34 settings are: AUTO, 600W, 100W, 10W and OFF.
CE44/54 settings are: AUTO, 1000W, 500W, 100W, 10W and OFF.
Scroll synchronization – the screen can be updated on the basis of
time or distance (when data from last ping appears on the display).
Scroll speed – is the ping rate and movement of the presentation of
echoes on the screen, moving from right to left. It is adjustable (Low,
Medium, High, Freeze), to allow the user to show a longer “history”
on the display screen, if desired.
Chapter 4-10
CE34/44/54 Echo menu
4.8 How the echosounder works
When the CEXX is turned on, a transmitter begins
to send electrical pulses to the transducer. The
ceramic resonators in the transducer has a special
property which enables it to change dimensions
slightly when a varying voltage is applied.
The voltage is thus converted to mechanical vibrations (sound waves) which are then transmitted down
through the water.
See Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 Transmied ‘ping’
from the transmier/receiver.
The sound waves move through the water until they
encounter a change in density, such as a fish or the
bottom. This causes the sound waves to ‘echo’ back
up through the water. When the reflected sound
waves (echoes) hit the transducer, the ceramic disk
vibrates at the same frequency. This generates a
varying voltage between the disk surfaces. This voltage goes back up through the cable to the receiver.
The CEXX amplifies and processes the signals and
presents them on the display screen.
See Fig. 2.
Fig. 2 The up arrow indicates:
Echo returning to the receiver.
The down arrow indicates:
Transmied pulse.
CE34/44/54 Echo menu
Chapter 4-11
4.9 Transducer beamwidth
The transducer mounted to the hull of your vessel serves as both
a ‘speaker’ when transmitting, and as a ‘microphone’ when the
echosounder is receiving. Similar to the way a flashlight focuses
light, most of the sound from your transducer is focused downwards
with a smaller amount going out to the sides. The amount of focusing
of the sound beam is expressed as a ‘beamwidth’.
Transducer
Approximation of the sound
pattern below the transducer
This angle is the transducer’s
beamwidth
1/2 maximum intensity
Maximum intensity
Fig. 3 A representation of a transducer bemwidth.
The center of the sound beam is the most intense, then as you move
out towards the sides of the sound beam there is a point where the
intensity of the sound is half what it was in the center. The distance
moved is the ‘beamwidth’. See Fig. 3.
Chapter 4-12
CE34/44/54 Echo menu
4.10 Effects of the vessel’s speed
The presentation of fish on the CEXX depends directly on the vessel’s speed, as well as on the depth of the fish. When the vessel is
at rest, the echo traces will appear stretched and flattened. As the
vessel’s speed becomes greater, the echo traces will become shorter
and more arched. The reason for this change in appearance is that as
the vessel speed increases, fewer number of sound ‘pings’ strike each
fish. A low vessel speed will provide the most accurate information
of where fish are loacted.

Status indicator and accuracy
Small letters (a,b,c,) indicate that SA is active, and the position
accuracy is expected to be better than 100 meters in 95% of the time.
Capital letters indicate that SA is OFF, and the position accuracy is
then expected to be 15 meters or better in 95% of the time.
dGPS indicates that differential data is received, either via built-in
differential receiver or from external receiver.
DGPS or SDGPS indicates that the position is corrected by the differential data. The accuracy will typically be 2-5 meters for DGPS
and 3-7 meters for SDGPS.
In order to utilize the high accuracy of the GPS system, it is necessary to align the lat/long calculations to the paper charts you are
using. Refer to Position display setup below.
When using C-MAP electronic charts, the datum will be aligned
automatically.

quality” of the satellite geometry in relation to 2D positioning and a
fixed antenna altitude.
PDOP (position dilution of precision) is equivalent to 3D
positioning. The values will typically stay between 1.3
and 8. The lower the value the higher the “quality”. A
poor geometry might produce a value of more than 20.
If preset DOP limit is exceeded (indicated by * in the
position display) it will cause the position updating to
stop until it once again is within the limit.
The DOP limit can be changed manually, but should not be set to
higher than 8 (default), as this may result in poor accuracy i.e. false
position. To change the DOP limit from the satellite status display

Status - can either be:
LOCKED = locked on a beacon and receiving differential data.
NOT LOCKED = not locked on a becon and receiving no differential data.
NOT INSTALLED = there is no built-in DGPS module in unit.
NOT IN USE = external DGPS receiver applied.
Beacon is monitored - YES or NO.
If YES it should be safe to rely on the received differential data,
because the beacon station’s performance is under observation.
If NO, then you have to use the received differential data with caution, as there is no guarantee it is not faulty.
Frequency - the frequency of the beacon station can be set manually
if known. However, when left in AUTO the navigator will always
search for the nearest station with a good signal strength.
Bit rate - indicates bits per second, and can be set manually to 25,
50, 100 or 200 bps.
Signal strength - a good signal strength is 20 and up.
Signal to noise ratio (SNR) - should be 8dB and up.
Message - type 16 message will be displayed when received from
the DGPS system. The contents of this message could be something
to do with the performance of the system. Temporarily out of service

is currently tracked/searched by channel 1, and what is the tracking
state.

channel. If YES: is the quality of the reception sufficiently high for
the corrections to be usable.
NONE: no corrections are received.
RECEIVED: corrections are received, but of insufficient quality.
USABLE: corrections are received and of sufficient quality.
USED: corrections received on this channel are used in the position
determination.
Integrity messages ok - the SDGPS system will transmit messages
concerning the integrity of the GPS satellites. This line will indicate
whether such messages are received and reliable.
Range used for position fix - if the receiver is tracking a particular
SDGPS satellite, it “knows” the distance to that satellite. This line
will indicate whether the distance is used in the position determination.
Type 0 warning received - if an SDGPS satellite is not operating according to specifications it will transmit a so-called “Type 0
warning”. In this situation, the receiver will not use any information
that it might receive from that satellite. Until the SDGPS system is
declared operational, the SDGPS satellites will always transmit Type
0 warnings.
It is possible (but not recommendable) to override the Type 0 warnings - refer to last line in SDGPS setup: “Ignore type 0 warnings:
NO” should be changed to “YES”.

6.7.1 Satellites in SDGPS system
The SDGPS system consist of eight orbiting geostationary satellites and is designed to form a seamless global augmentation system
consisting of Waas (USA), EGNOS (Europe) and MSAS (Japan). If
all three parts would become operative at the same time, there would
be no performance problem. However, since WAAS is the only
system currently in normal operation, the WAAS correction signals
can have a negative effect on receivers operating in Europe and Far
East outside the intended WAAS coverage area. In these areas, we
recommend that the ‘SDGPS select mode’ is changed from ‘AUTO’
to ‘PASSIVE’.
Refer to Addendum no. 183-0002-000 (included in the package) for
up-to-date information on the current status of the SDGPS system.

However, it is not immediately accessible to transfer data via DataCard from the new model CE34/44/54 to the older model CE42, etc.,
as this would require an update of the CE42.

will be sorted automatically and not saved twice i.e.:
• ‘Marks/waypoints’ of same position, name and symbol.
• ‘Lines’ which are identical.
• ‘Routes’ of same name, equal number of routepoints (not necessarily in the
same position), but with the exact same start point and end point.
• ‘Targets’ of same position, name and symbol.
• ‘Tracks’ which are identical.
• ‘Setup’ can not be merged.

Data transfer to and from a route planning program on a Personal
Computer can be made via NMEA connection (Refer to Optional
connections in the Installation manual) by means of the standard
NMEA0183 sentences WPL and RTE.
The data transfer on these two sentences does not include WP symbol, color, XTE limit, etc.
PC-based planning systems differ in operation and performance

8.5 Interface setup
CE34 has a connector for SimNet control or NMEA2000 plus one
NMEA in/out port.
CE44/54 has two NMEA in/out ports:
1. NMEA1 contains both an NMEA port and connection for the
dual station. The NMEA1 data from the main unit is available
from NMEA2 port on the dual station i.e. DS44 or DS54.
2. NMEA2 is used for connection to SimNet or NMEA2000 via
AT44 Active Tee or for standard NMEA interfacing.
Plug-and-play: SimNet offers easy and uncomplicated interfacing
with a unique cable and plug solution and automatic system setup.
SimNet is the optimum solution for integrating SimNet products and
other products with NMEA 2000.
Group selection or stand-alone: Main products, e.g. MultiRadar,
Chartplotter and Autopilot will automatically select the optimum
sources for position, heading, depth, speed etc. for all other SimNet
products connected. This means that if two Chartplotters are connected, they will both use position data from the same GPS and
heading from the same compass. If you wish to use the built-in GPS,
also on the Chartplotter, which automatically was set to operate
with an external position, you can change the Group selection from
SIMRAD to STAND-ALONE.
Multi source: If a main product recognizes e.g. two heading devices
it will automatically select a gyro compass before a fluxgate compass, and DGPS before GPS.
NMEA 0183 input: If there is no data available from the SimNet
bus for e.g. heading, position or depth, the system will automatically
look for data via the NMEA 0183 port.
The next pages show examples of interface settings, which are
divided into the following groups:
Nodes - Position - Navigation - Water - Compass - Wind - Waypoint
- Alarm - SimNet diagnostic - SimNet input - SimNet output NMEA0183 input - NMEA0183 output - Identification.

SimNet error frame counter - if the figure is not 0 it could be due
to a number of things and not necessarily that there is a system error.
However, if the counter is active and the number is rapidly increasing, then the system has detected a fault.
For instance, if the SimNet cable is pulled, the counter will be activated and once the cable is back in place, the counter will stop, but
will stay at the figure it has reached. So therefore, a figure other than
0 does not necessarily mean that something is wrong, only if the
figure continues to increase.
Prior to call for technical assistance:
1. Check connected cabling.
2. Check supply voltage to be between 10.8-15 VDC to the SimNet
system.
3. Systematically disconnect one unit at a time to see which one is
causing the problem. Start at the opposite end of the 12V power
supply.

General
Almanac – a satellite’s almanac data, is data which determines an approximate lane for satellites in orbit. The almanac data is used by the GPS receiver
to find and lock onto the satellite signal. CEXX has a built-in basic almanac.
AVN – Approximate Velocity Necessary – to arrive at a specific waypoint at a
specific time.
Bearing – is the direction of where to go e.g. towards a specific waypoint.
Course – Course Over Ground, magnetic or true. The direction of which the
vessel is moving.
Configuration – the configuration functions of the CEXX allow you to adapt
the system more specifically to your needs. You may set Units of measure
(feet, fathoms, meters, etc.), Menu languages, Scroll speed, etc.
dGPS – differential data is received from satellites via built-in DGPS module
or an external DGPS Receiver.
ETA - Estimated Time of Arrival - at a specific waypoint if keeping a steady
speed.
Great circle – the shortest distance between two points on the globe.
Heading – the direction of which the vessel is pointing (from ext.compass).
Measurement units – the user may select the displayed units to be one of the
following:
m
meters
ft
feet , 1 foot is 0.3048 meter
fm
fathoms, 1 fathom is 1.83 meters
nm
nautical mile, 1 nm is 1852 meters

CE34/44/54 Glossary of terms
Navigation simulator - the chartplotter function features a built-in navigation
simulator which can be used for demonstration purpose or for practicing ‘live’
navigation in ‘off season’.
Navigation to cursor or waypoint, in route or in track is started as described in
chapter 5. The navigation simulator is started via the NMEA interface setup:
Press [MENU],[6],[2],[PLOT]; under index tab ‘Position’ use the cursor to go
to ‘Position mode’ and use the +/- keys to toggle to ‘Dead Reckoning’; then go
to ‘Dead reckoning speed’ if you wish to change the current speed by entering
a new figure; press [ENT] to confirm.
The ship symbol will now ‘sail’ to the point of destination directly or via the
route you have selected and you can see how the alarms and automatic waypoint
shift all work, as if you were sailing yourself. You can also simulate making a
track trailing the ship or plotting eventmarks, etc. as the ship is ‘sailing’.
NMEA – National Marine Electronics Association. The NMEA is an organization of manufacturers of marine electronics equipment. They have adopted
the NMEA0183 as a standard for communications between various types of
marine electronic equipment.
Port side – left (red).
Position update - if, for some reason, there is no position update from GPS
or external sensor, the displayed position will start to flash and an alarm will
be activated to alert the operator. ‘Position missing’ alarm can be set ON/OFF
- see section 6.5. Reset the alarm by [CLR]. The displayed position will stop
flashing once normal position update is resumed.
Restart to approaching point – will automatic recalculate the navigation data
from current position to approaching point.
Rhumbline – is the straight line to a waypoint on a chart.
Route name – each route can be given a name for easy identification.
SDGPS - Satellite Differential Global Positioning System - will provide position corrections from received satellite signals (WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS).
Speed – Speed Over Ground, indicated in knots, kilometers, or miles.
Starboard side – right (green).
TFT – Thin-Film Transistor (Active matrix) display.
CE34/44/54 Glossary of terms
Appendix A-3
UTC – Universal Time Coordinates, which is equal to standard time in
London (GMT). UTC is not affected by the local summertime adjustments.
Velocity – speed towards approaching waypoint.
Waypoint name – a name can be added to each waypoint for easy identification.
XTE – Cross-Track-Error (-Distance), measured magnitude of the position
error perpendicular to the intended track line.
Echosounder section:
Alarms – can be set to sound a “beep” if the echosounder detects a target
above (shallower than) a minimum alarm depth or below (deeper than) a
maximum alarm depth. The CEXX allows you to set the alarm depths and to
enable or disable both the minimum and maximum depth alarms.
A-scope – a method of displaying the echosounder information. In A-Scope
mode, the echoes are displayed in a “bar-graph” format, with stronger echoes
displayed not only in the color representing their target strength, but also in a
width representing their target strength.
Depths – DK = Depth below keel, DS = Depth below surface, DT = Depth
below transducer.
Echogram background color – is the color shown on the CEXX in the event
no target is present. There are three colors to choose from, white, blue or
black, where black is especially useful during nighttime operation when the
white background could appear too bright.
Echosounder frequency 38 (CE44/54), 50 or 200 kHz can be selected to suit
the task. 200 kHz is for general purpose and offers optimum discrimination
and a narrow transmitter beam. 38 and 50 kHz are for searching in a wider
area, determining bottom conditions and going the deepest.
Transducer – the transducer serves as the acoustic “loudspeaker” and “microphone” to send and receive the signals through the water. They are most
often made from ceramic elements carefully built into a robust housing. The
ceramic elements change shape when a voltage is applied across them (when
the CEXX transmits a signal), and they also generate a voltage when they
encounter sound waves (as when the CEXX is receiving an echo).

Example of Tide height information:
Caution - the tide information system is quite accurate. However, the predictions are subject to variables, which, like the weather, are beyond the control
of man. The tide predictions are based on normal weather conditions. Hurricanes and strong winds will often have a strong influence on the water level,
which can vary several meters. Changes in a coast line, either due to natural
erosion, major storms or larger man-made constructions, like breakwaters or
dredged canals, can also have influence on the local tide situation.

Objects organized in categories
The purpose of the C-MAP functions is to select objects, which are to be displayed on the screen (chart). The objects are organized in categories and each
category can be selected as one, without having to decide upon almost 300
objects separately. Refer to section 3.5 Chart setup.
