How does the RCDS Performance Standard differ from the ECDIS Performance Standard?

The RCDS Performance Standard is identical to the ECDIS Performance Standard except where the difference between raster data and vector data requires a change. RCDS does not have the automated alarms triggered by chart data that ECDIS provides nor could one reduce clutter by turning off chart objects. However, mariners would still have real time positioning, automatic updating and any alarms entered manually (off-track alarm, obstructions…). In addition, the familiar chart image would minimize training time and would allow mariners to use their existing navigation skills immediately.
