Land Settings; Currents Prediction; Other Map Configurations; Display Mode - VDO MAP 7w Plus GPS User Manual

The possible choices are listed in the table below:
Normal : It is recommended when the chart plotter is not exposed to the direct sunlight. When this mode
is set the maps are displayed in order to use colors as similar as possible to the ones used in the
original paper charts.
NOAA : Allows setting NOAA paper chart colors presentation.
Sunlight : It is designed to enhance the visibility of the screen when the chart plotter is exposed to the
sunlight. The maps are much brighter than in the other modes and the depth areas are filled with
white color so different depth areas are not easily distinguishable.
Night : It is recommended when the environment is dark in order to reduce the glare of the display. The
chart plotter displays maps and screen in darker colors.
