Displaying and interpreting laylines
Once laylines are enabled and correctly configured in the [Laylines] tab in
the Chart app Settings, they will start rendering on the Chart display as your
vessel is underway.
Laylines are displayed as a parallelogram under the following conditions:
• The vessel is under active navigation towards a [Waypoint] or [Goto].
• A tack is required to meet an active [Waypoint] or [Goto].
• The direct distance to the destination point is less than 150 nm from your
vessel.
When the destination point is upwind the laylines will be displayed in a
parallelogram formation, with green and red laylines showing the port and
starboard tacks, as shown below:
