Vessel Offset allows you to display more of the Chart View based on the speed of the boat. Vessel
Offset works with Offset Speed.
Turn on Vessel Offset, and set the speed threshold in Offset Speed. When the boat is moving
below the Offset Speed setting, the boat icon will be displayed in the center of the Chart View.
When the boat is moving at or above the Offset Speed setting, the boat icon will move to the edge
of the view so that more of the Chart View is shown on-screen.
Offset Speed allows you to see more of the Chart View when the boat is traveling at or above the
Offset Speed setting. Vessel Offset must be turned on. See Vessel Offset for more information.
Contour Lines sets whether the water contour lines are visible or hidden in the Chart Views. Contour
Lines are also affected by the Water Level Offset setting.
