13.0.7 Chart Settings

Settings that control how the chart features will be shown on the Chart page.

Lat/Lon Grid : Turns the displaying of the Latitude and Longitude grid lines on or off on the chart page.

Chart Boundaries : Turns the displaying of Chart Boundaries on, off or auto mode which shows the chart boundaries of the two charts below the current scale. The chart boundaries are only show when a C-Map NT, NT+ or MAX card is inserted into the GPS Chart Plotter.

Value-Added Data : Turns the displaying of Value added data On or Off. The Value Added Data (VAD) is a collection of additional cartographic objects which are not present on the original paper chart (from which the electronic chart derives). These objects have been obtained from other sources (that C-MAP believes to be reliable) and then merged to the electronic charts in order to provide more information useful for the navigation. VAD object can be any cartographic objects and it can be distinguished from the official-chart-objects from the Quick Info. A dedicated icon is shown on the Quick Info window to indicate that the object queried is a VAD. The same icon is also shown on the Full Info page and in addition the extended text Value Added Data is shown on the details of the VAD object.

Chart Lock (*) : Sets On/Off the Chart Lock option. When Chart Lock is On, the available zoom scales are only the ones containing cartographic data. Instead when Chart Lock is Off, it is possible to zoom down into zoom scales not covered by cartographic data after the last available zoom scale covered by cartographic data. The DSI window, if present, will show “NO CHART”, when an empty level is entered in the location of map expansion mode.

Mixing Levels : When the map coverage at the current chart scale does not fill the entire display, the GPS Chart Plotter draws the rest of the map using charts from above and below the current scale. When this function is turned on you will notice the display may redraw 2 to 3 times to show all the details.

NOTE(*)

When an empty level is entered, the message “No cartographic coverage” is shown on a window in a corner of the map display. The warning message is always displayed as long as the current zoom has no data coverage.
