Active Objects
13
'Fence/Wall' - this option allows including data about fences or walls in distance measurements or other operations on the maritime chart. In navigation, it is important to consider distances from the vessel to obstacles such as fences or walls, and enabling this option can assist mariners in route planning and ensuring safety in areas with such objects.
Active Objects
14
'Floating Dock' - this option allows including data about floating docks in distance measurements or other operations on the nautical chart. Floating docks are structures capable of rising and sinking in the water, designed to lift vessels from the water for repair or maintenance work. Enabling this option can be useful for navigation in areas with floating docks, helping to consider these objects when planning routes and measuring distances.
Active Objects
15
'Gate' - this option allows including data about gates in distance measurements or other operations on the nautical chart. In navigation, it is important to consider distances from the vessel to gates, and enabling this option can assist navigators in planning routes and ensuring safety in areas with gates. This may relate to gates in straits, channels, or other critical maritime passages.
Active Objects
16
'Wreck' - this option allows including data about wrecks or sunken objects in distance measurements or other operations on the maritime chart. Wrecks can pose a danger to navigation, and taking their location into account is crucial for maritime safety. Enabling this option can help navigators avoid potential hazardous areas and take precautionary measures when planning routes.
