Chart Settings
3D boat selection
You can select different boat icons that will be used as the current
position symbol when the chart is in 3D mode.
Boat settings
The draught, beam (width) and height of your boat can be entered
in the Boat Settings dialog. Boat settings must be entered before
using Navionics Autorouting or Jeppesen Easy Routing features.
Range Rings
You can turn on/off range rings from the chart settings menu.
The range rings can be used to show the distance from your vessel
to other chart objects. The range scale is set automatically by the
system to suit the chart scale.
Heading and Course extension
The length of the extension lines are either set as a fixed distance,
or to indicate the distance the vessel will move in the selected time
period.
Vessel heading extension is aligned
with the direction the vessel’s bow is
pointing. COG extension points the
direction the vessel is moving. If there
is no heading sensor, heading will
default to the COG value.
For other vessels COG data is included in the message received from
the AIS system.
