Chart Panning

The Chart Panning tool allows you to move the chart across the workspace to view different areas. It is activated through the context menu or the tool selection menu.

Tool activation

The tool is activated by clicking the panning icon Panning in the tool selection menu. When activated, the ECDIS cursor changes to Panning cursor.

Usage

To pan the chart:

  1. Using the mouse: press and hold the left mouse button on the chart and, without releasing, move the cursor in the desired direction. The chart will follow the cursor movement.

  2. On a touchscreen: touch the screen on the chart and, without releasing, move your finger in the desired direction.

Tip

The chart panning tool is especially convenient for quick navigation across large areas of the chart without changing the scale.

Operating features

  • The chart moves smoothly in the direction of the cursor or finger movement

  • Movement is possible in any direction

  • When the mouse button or finger is released, movement stops

  • The tool remains active until another tool is selected

Note

The panning tool does not change the chart scale, only its position in the viewing window.

Tip

When centering mode is enabled Center on, the chart will return to the vessel position. To move the chart beyond the screen and view areas outside the vessel position, disable centering Center off.
