Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — determine magnetic compass deviation

ECDIS is a navigational tool for position and route monitoring, not a magnetic compass calibration device. While it performs datum transformations, coordinate conversions, and geodetic calculations, determining magnetic deviation requires external observations or comparison with a known reference, which is outside the functional scope of an ECDIS system.
