Pilot Planning

3. Launching ENC EDITOR
ENC EDITOR is used to create and/or modify electronic charts in S-57 format.
Located under the ‘Final Products’ menu.
ENC EDITOR reads the GEODETIC PARAMETERS for the current project.
Your S-57 data is always saved in WGS-84.
HYPACK performs a datum transformation (if needed) and a grid conversion to correctly display the S-57 chart on any projection.
You cannot read S-63 (encrypted S-57 files) into the ENC EDITOR. This is due to copyright restrictions.
