First Claim
Patent Images
1. A display system for a marine vessel, the display system comprising:
- a memory including geographic position data for a geographic area;
a position determining component for determining a current geographic position of the marine vessel;
a display; and
a processing system coupled with the memory, the position determining component, and the display, the processing system operable to implement a plurality of modes of operation for the display system, wherein the processing system is configured to;
select a mode of operation based on a comparison of the current geographic position of the marine vessel to the geographic area,cause the display to present information related to the selected mode of operation, andcause at least one of automatic activation of or automatic deactivation of an equipment of the marine vessel based on the selected mode of operation.

Abstract
A display system for a marine vessel implements a plurality of modes of operation, each of which presents information representative of data from selected marine input sources on one or more electronic displays of the system. A mode of operation may be selected automatically when a determination is made that the marine vessel is within a geographic area, defined by a boundary, or crosses a boundary line with which the mode of operation is associated.

17. A method for controlling a marine vessel having a display system including at least one display comprising:
-
retrieving, using a processing system, geographic position data for a geographic area from a memory; receiving, using the processing system, a current geographic position of the marine vessel from a position determining component; selecting, using the processing system, a mode of operation for the display system based on a comparison of the current geographic position of the marine vessel to the geographic area, the mode of operation being selected from a plurality of modes of operation for the display system; causing, using the processing system, a display of the display system to present information related to the selected mode of operation; and causing, using the processing system, at least one of automatic activation of or automatic deactivation of a radar of the marine vessel based on the selected mode of operation. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
