: Sets On/Off the displaying of the Value Added Data. The Value Added Data (VAD) is a
collection of additional cartographic objects which are not present on the original paper
chart (from which the electronic chart derives). These objects have been obtained from
other sources (that C-MAP believes to be reliable) and then merged to the electronic charts
in order to provide more information useful for the navigation. VAD object can be any
cartographic objects and it can be distinguished from the official-chart-objects from the
Quick Info. A dedicated icon is shown on the Quick Info window to indicate that the object
queried is a VAD. The same icon is also shown on the Full Info page and in addition the
extended text Value Added Data is shown on the details of the VAD object.
: Sets On/Off the Chart Lock option. When Chart Lock is On, the available zoom scales are
only the ones containing cartographic data. Instead when Chart Lock is Off, it is possible
to zoom down into zoom scales not covered by cartographic data after the last available
zoom scale covered by cartographic data. The DSI window, if present, will show "NO
CHART", when an empty level is entered in the location of map expansion mode.

Line "course" is given by the value of COG (Course Over Ground) and its length is
proportional to the SOG (Speed Over Ground).
