Abstract

A method for depicting own ship on a display is described. The method includes receiving position data and heading data for own ship from at least one system, correlating, with a processing device, the position data and heading data with data from a map database, generating a map display on the display based on the correlation between the position data and the data from the map database, overlaying a depiction of own ship on the map display, the depiction based on the correlation between the position and heading data and the data from the map database, and encircling the own ship depiction with a circle overlay and a north indicator overlay proximate the circle overlay, the north indicator indicating a north direction.
