2.The Azimuth button shows the current setting in degrees. Select the button if you want to change the setting and a slider box appears.

3.The current setting is shown as a number and as a line within a solid bar of color. Drag the line, or use the rotary knob to change the setting. The new setting is previewed immediately.

4.When the new setting is correct, select OK. The new setting stays until you change it again.

13.6Change the camera angle for 3D Chart

You can change the elevation to give a different view of the 3D Chart screen either by using the Camera Angle setting as explained here, or by manual adjustment (See Page 95)

A low angle of elevation is useful as it is similar to the view from your vessel. A high angle of elevation gives a better overview of the area, similar to that from an airplane.

A medium or high angle of elevation is the most suitable setting if you have synchronized the Chart screen and the 3D Chart screen.

To change the camera angle:

1.Display the 3D Chart screen and control panel.

2.The Camera Angle button shows the current setting in degrees (0° is the horizon and 90° is overhead). Select the button if you want to change the setting and a slider box appears.

3.The current setting is shown as a number and as a line within a solid bar of color. Drag the line, or use the rotary knob to change the setting. The new setting is previewed immediately.

4.When the new setting is correct, select OK. The new setting stays until you change it again.

13.7Change the elevation manually

You can change the elevation to give a different view of the 3D Chart screen either manually as explained here, or by using the Camera Angle setting,

A low angle of elevation is useful as it is similar to the view from your vessel. A high angle of elevation gives a better overview of the area, similar to that from an airplane.

A medium or high angle of elevation is the most suitable setting if you have synchronized the Chart screen and the 3D Chart screen.

To change the elevation:

1.Display the 3D Chart screen and control panel.

2.Select the center of the 3D Chart screen, where the cursor changes to a double-headed arrow.

3.Drag the cursor up to increase the angle of elevation, or down to decrease the angle of elevation.

4.Stop when the 3D Chart screen is shown at the desired elevation.
