13.11Overlay satellite or aerial photos on 3D Chart

If land is drawn on your 3D Chart screen, you can overlay this with satellite photos or aerial photos if these are available from C-Map for that area.

NOTE: If you pan the 3D Chart screen, or change the azimuth or camera angle, the

photo overlays are switched off automatically to improve the response time of the display. Just select the Photo Overlay button again to re-display the photo

overlays.

To overlay satellite or aerial photos:

1.Display the 3D Chart screen.

2.The Photo Overlay button shows the current setting. Select the button if you want to toggle to the other setting. If it's:

ƒOn, the land areas are overlain by satellite photos or aerial photos if these are available. You may need to zoom in closer to the land area to display the photo overlays.

ƒOff, the land is drawn graphically.

3.The new setting is applied immediately and stays until you change it again.

4.When you are finished, select Return.

13.12Synchronize 3D Chart and the chart screen

If you display the Chart screen and the 3D Chart screen side-by-side in two panes of a page, you can synchronize the two panes to show different perspectives of the same area.

When the two screens are synchronized, the Chart screen settings are applied to the 3D Chart screen, not the reverse. For example, if you want to zoom in on the 3D Chart screen, you must zoom in on the Chart screen; these changes are then duplicated on the 3D Chart screen.

To synchronize 3D Chart and the Chart screen:

1.Select Pages. If you:

ƒdon't have a page that shows the 3D Chart screen in one pane and the Chart screen in the other pane, edit or create a page that shows these two screens (see "Edit a page" page 26).

ƒdo have a page that shows the 3D Chart screen in one pane and the Chart screen in the other, select it.

2.Select the 3D Chart pane so that it becomes the active pane. If you can't see the Sync to Chart button, select Return.

3.The Sync to Chart button shows the current setting. If it's:
