Mini Chart Cards

The mini chart cards contain nautical charts.
When you insert a suitable mini chart card in
the slot and your boat is near land, a chart
appears.
When a wrong card is inserted or a wrong
chart scale is selected, the land will be
hollow. Insert the proper card and select a
suitable chart scale. Chart icons appear to
help you select a suitable chart scale. The
table below shows the chart icons and their
meanings.
