Chart options
Though Deckman will work with a wide range of both raster and vector
charts, you are only able to select from one of the following columns:
C-MAP Version
C-Map vector charts
Maptech (BSB), PCX, Reml raster
charts
Euronav Version
Livechart vector charts
ARCS raster charts
Maptech (BSB), PCX, Reml raster
charts
These two options work slightly differently in Deckman, so please make
sure you refer to the correct section below.
The Deckman display will normally switch between the different loaded
charts automatically depending on the scale and the extent to which you
are zoomed in. However, you may wish to override this automatic
switching and are able to specify Maptech charts to be used in
preference to others. Select menu>charts>use Maptech charts and
then check the Use Maptech charts in preference to others. To turn
this feature off again, repeat the above and clear the box. The Show
Maptech chart outlines function allows you to view the positions of the
loaded Maptech charts without actually using them.
