Forward depth display
First Claim
1. An apparatus for displaying marine electronic navigation data, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more processors;
a screen configured to display marine data; and
a memory having a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to;
determine a current location of a vessel and at least one of a heading or a projected direction of travel of the vessel;
determine, based on at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel, a plurality of locations along at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel;
retrieve, from the memory, a bathymetric chart that includes the current location and the plurality of locations along at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel;
determine, based on the bathymetric chart, the current location, and the plurality of locations along at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel, a plurality of depths that each correspond to one of the plurality of locations; and
display, on the screen, the plurality of depths along a line or curve extending from a representation of the vessel, wherein the plurality of depths are displayed on a chart at each corresponding one of the plurality of locations, and wherein the line or curve extends from the representation of the vessel in at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel.

Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to an apparatus for displaying marine electronic navigation data. The apparatus comprises one or more processors, a screen configured to display marine data, and a memory having a plurality of executable instructions. The executable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, may cause the one or more processors to determine a location of a vessel and at least one of a heading or a projected direction of travel of the vessel, retrieve a bathymetric chart corresponding to the location, analyze the bathymetric chart, the location, and the at least one heading or projected direction of travel of the vessel to determine a plurality of depths that each correspond to one of a plurality of locations corresponding to the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel, and display the plurality of depths on the screen.

8. A method for displaying marine electronic navigation data, the method comprising:
-
determining, by a processor, a current location of a vessel and at least one of a heading or a projected direction of travel of the vessel; determining, based on at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel, a plurality of locations along at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel; retrieving, from at least one of a memory or a remote server, a bathymetric chart that includes the current location and the plurality of locations along at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel; determining, based on the bathymetric chart, the current location, and the at least one heading or projected direction of travel of the vessel, a plurality of depths that each correspond to one of the plurality of locations; and displaying, on a screen, the plurality of depths along a line or curve extending from a representation of the vessel, wherein the plurality of depths are displayed on a chart at each corresponding one of the plurality of locations, and wherein the line or curve extends from the representation of the vessel in at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
-
determine a current location of a vessel and at least one of a heading or a projected direction of travel of the vessel; determine, based on at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel, a plurality of locations along at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel; retrieve, from at least one of a memory or a remote server, a bathymetric chart that includes the current location and the plurality of locations along at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel; determine, based on the bathymetric chart, the current location, and the at least one heading or projected direction of travel of the vessel, a plurality of depths that each correspond to one of the plurality of locations; and display, on the screen, the plurality of depths along a line or curve extending from a representation of the vessel, wherein the plurality of depths are displayed on a chart at each corresponding one of the plurality of locations, and wherein the line or curve extends from the representation of the vessel in at least one of the heading or the projected direction of travel of the vessel. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
