Display options
The following affect only the look of the Navigation window:
Vector scale
adjusts the length of the wind vectors
Vector gap
sets the gap between the tufts of wind vectors so
that you can see them more clearly.
If your boat does not appear to be in the right position on the chart,
entering a GPS offset here (in minutes and decimal minutes) should
help. A positive value will offset North or East; negative moves position
South or West.
Grid layer spacing allows you to set the distance between lines on an
overlaid grid. Grid layer type gives you the following options:
great circles
a great circle is drawn from your present
position to the mark, along with lines parallel
and perpendicular to this in great circle
terms.
Latitude circles
grid lines follow latitude in one direction,
with equidistant points along these connected
in the other direction

displayed for the previous 15 minutes.
