1 Introduction of AMEC NaviPro ECS

AMEC NaviPro is an ECS (Electronic Chart System) navigation software which follows

the international standard ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System) supporting the chart format S-57 for hydrographic exchange or transport of digital data as well as conforming the chart display standard S-52 for displaying screen

elements, graphics, and color presentation.

NaviPro ECS supports English, Japanese, and Chinese language user-interfaces.

Throughout this manual, chapters start with (A) are only supported in NaviPro Advanced version.

1.1 ECDIS Electronic Chart Display and Information System

ECDIS is the international standard for electronic chart displaying system. The ECDIS

standard has various test requirements to validate the hardware and software qualifications of a navigational device. In summary, ECDIS defines the graphical user interface (GUI) that is displayed on an aid navigation system.

The ECDIS standards are defined and developed by IHO in collaboration with IMO (International Maritime Organization). These standards define nautical information

exchange format S-57/S-63 (Hydrographic data) and S-52 (Graphic data) specifications for chart elements, symbols, colors, and etc.

1.2 S-57/S-63 ENC Electronic Navigational Charts introduction

S-57/S-63 ENC (Electronic Navigational Chart) is the vector chart based on S-57/S-63 object categories and attributions. S-57/S-63’s spatial objects hold vector

spatial data including symbol descriptions. All these information is encapsulated in S-57/S-63 ENC.

The S-57/S-63 vector data is based on paper and raster charts with the approved nautical survey data released by the authorities. The goal is to provide the most accurate nautical information for navigation.

S-57/S-63 ENC is a collection of information exchange sets. Through AMEC NaviPro ECS, S-57/S-63 chart data is displayed and converted internally for the NaviPro’s drawing engine to achieve faster processing.
