Extract

1. INTRODUCTION. Interest in the use of video displays for nautical chart presentation has increased rapidly during the last two years. Eaton et al. at the Second International Hydrographic Technical Conference provided a list of ten different systems already in production. Oshima speaking at a Workshop on the subject in Canada, early in 1985, mentioned that some 4000 Japanese fishing boats and 150 merchant vessels now carry electronic charts of varying degrees of complexity.
