Change 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.
