An Electronic Chart Display and Information System (ECDIS) is a computer based navigation system used as an alternative to paper navigation charts. Integrating a variety of real time information, it is an automated decision aid, capable of continuously determining a vessel’s position in relation to land, charted objects, navigation aids and unseen hazards.

The ECDIS includes electronic navigational charts (ENC) and integrates information from the Global Positioning System (GPS), speed log, gyro and potentially other navigational sensors, such as e.g. radar, fathometer and automatic identification systems (AIS).
