Glossary
Manual activation email: It's one of the methods suggested by the Activation Wizard. It's a helper designed for the user to manually create an activation request email using copy & paste. This method must be applied if the automatic activation email failed.
Map projection: the systematic arrangement of the earth's spherical or geographic coordinate system onto a plane; the process of transforming a globe into a flat map with the least amount of distortion; a transformation process.
Meridian: an imaginary line that circles the earth, passing through the geographic poles and any given point on the earth's surface. All points on a given meridian have the same longitude.
mm2: Mapmedia mm2 charts are in the " the second generation " Raster format, the display quality of the text has been improved (anti aliasing effect).Mapmedia mm2 charts are in 16,7 million colors, this improvement in the quality of your charts displayed on the screen is not achieved at the expense of disk space.
MOB: Man-over-board
Modules: They must be considered as the available features offered by the software.
N
NMEA: National Maritime Electronics Association. The association sets standards for interfacing nautical electronic devices, including Global Positioning System receivers.
North-up: North (zero degree) is at the top of the display.
O
Oceanic Experimental model: is a weather model, covering only the ocean areas (and not close to shore).
Online Activation: It's the more simple activation method available for an user who has access to the Internet.The process is fully performed by the Activation Wizard.
P
Packet Messaging: Radio transmitted message system.
PBG: Personal Bathy Generator
PCMCIA Card: Personal Computer Memory Card International Association Card. A Sunnyvale, California nonprofit trade association created to standardize the connection of peripherals to portable computers. PCMCIA developed the PCMCIA card, a lightweight, removable module about the size of a credit card that adds features to a portable computer.
PCX: PCX is a graphics file format for graphics programs running on PCs. It is supported by most optical scanners, fax programs, and desktop publishing systems.
Pixel: Picture element. Definable locations (dots) on a display that are used to form images on the screen.
PNG: Portable Network Graphics. A file format for the portable, well-compressed storage of raster images.
Position fixing: determining your position on a map in terms of its coordinate system. This can be done visually, by referencing the terrain and comparing it to contour lines and other map features, by using a GPS receiver.
Protocol: An agreed-upon format for transmitting data between two devices
PTF: PTF is the extension of specific vector files which stack there transparency on displayed chart and on which user add marks and save his data.
R
RAIN: Anti Clutter Rain, Radar term
Raster: Computer graphics term describing a predetermined pattern of line that provides uniform coverage of a display space. Raster graphics are computer graphics that are composed of an array of pixels arranged in rows and columns.. Raster maps are stored as a series of pixels. Vector maps are stored as line segments.
Relief: changes in terrain; elevations or depressions in the land.
Relief shading: a technique for showing the ups and downs of the land portrayed on a topographic map. The process makes land look three-dimensional by the use of graded shadow effects. Traditionally, maps are shaded as though the light source is coming from the northwest.

MaxSea Operator Manual version 12.6
RMS: Root Mean Square. The standard deviation of the error in the GPS location.
Route: A route is a desired path of travel created on a chart and consisting of two waypoints at least with a starting waypoint, and ending waypoint.
S
SAR: Search And Rescue
Scale: the distance between two points on a map as they relate to the distance between those same points on the earth.
SEA: Anti Clutter Sea, Radar term
Serial Number: It identifies the product (software) and proves the purchase act. It is requested by the Activation Wizard or from our services when you have to call them .
Sighting line: The line that you sight along to take a bearing.
Site Code: The Site Code is a critical data with regard to the Activation. It is the query part during the activation phase and identify user machine in a unique way.
Site Key: The Site Key is a critical data with regard to the Activation. It is the answer part of the activation process. It is the "Activation Code".
Slope: When land deviates from the horizontal plane it has slope. On a topographic map, the closer the contour lines are placed together, the greater the slope of the land being portrayed.
Software Key License Manager: allows you to manage your software key each time needed.
SOG: means Speed Over Ground, it is the actual fixed geographic speed of a vessel. It is essentially the Speed over Water (SOW), plus the cumulative effect of wind and current.
SOW: Speed Over Water - the speed over water as reported by a NMEA 0183 compatible GPS attached to your system. So it is the actual speed of the boat traveling.
T
TCP/IP: Abbreviation of Transmission Control Protocol, and pronounced as separate letters.TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol dealsonly with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streamsof data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will bedelivered in the same order in which they were sent.
TCPA: is the abbreviation that means Time to Closest Point of Approach.
Temporary License: During a dongle failure, the software automatically generates a Temporary License.This license allows the user to keep on using his software normally for a limited time while he is waiting for a dongle replacement.The temporary license is renewable if the user contact the technical support.
Tif: Tagged image file format. One of the most widely supported file formats for storing bit-mapped images on personal computers (both PCs and Macintosh computers).
Topography: relief of the land surface; the graphic portrayal of that relief in map form by the use of contour lines.
Track: An onscreen and/or logged record of a vessel's previous movements.
Troposphere: The portion of the atmosphere from the earth's surface to the stratosphere; that is, the lowest 10 to 20 kilometers of the atmosphere.
True north: the geographical North Pole.
TTG: Time To Go - The amount of time estimated until the vessel reaches an active waypoint, assuming no intervening change in course or speed.
TWA: True Wind Angle
TWD: True Wind Direction - In order to overcome the effects of drift and wind, a vessel which is trying to reach a given waypoint may not bear straight towards it. As a result, onboard wind direction measurements - the AWD - may not be the same as the True Wind Direction (TWD).
TWS: True Wind Speed - When the vessel is in motion, onboard wind speed measurements - the AWS - will differ from stationary measurements (TWS).

Glossary
U
UDP: User Datagram Protocol connectionless protocol that, like TCP, runs on top of IPnetworks. Unlike TCP/IP, UDP/IP provides very few error recovery services, offeringinstead a direct way to send and receive datagrams over an IP network. It's usedprimarily for messages over network broadcast .
Upload: Method of transfering data from MaxSea to a GPS.
USGS: United States Geological Survey.
UTC: Coordinated Universal Time
UTM: Universal Transverse Mercator grid - a grid coordinate system that appears on most USGS maps. It provides a perpendicular grid with constant linear surface distance values between each of its grid lines in all directions, except near the poles. The UTM system divides the area of the earth between 84 degrees N and 80 degrees S into 60 zones. While coordinates reported in degrees, minutes, and seconds of latitude and longitude are often called true coordinates, those reported in terms of the UTM grid are referred to as false eastings and northings.
V
Vector: Images defined by sets of straight lines that are defined by the locations of the end-points. Vector graphics require much less storage space than raster or bitmapped graphics.
VMG: Velocity Made Good - The speed at which the vessel is moving toward its intended destination, regardless of the vessel's direction.
VRM: means Variable Range Marker: This tool is a user-controlled range ring that surrounds your GPS's position. The VRM is normally used to measure distances to targets. The range for the VRM is displayed in Nautical Miles and can be found in a tool tip on the chart.
W
Waypoint: A predetermined geographical position used for navigation along a route or for storing the position of a particular feature.
X
XTD: Cross Track Distance
XTE: Cross Track Error - The distance of a line drawn from the vessel perpendicularly to an active route leg. This determines to what extent the vessel is straying from the course of a route.
