Terrain and Map
The LX9000 is pre-loaded with terrain for the entire world. The database includes: elevation
contour lines, water bodies, roads, highways, railways, big cites and a digital elevation
model. The database is derived from the VMAP0 free database and some data may be
obsolete. The database cannot be modified by the user.
Check the Show map item to enable map displays in the navigational pages. If this item is
unchecked no map will be displayed. Check Shadows, if you terrain to be shaded. The
Label zoom value defines up to which scale of zoom city names are visible. 100km means
the whole width of the screen represents 100 km. The user can also modify size, font style
and colour via the Font style and color item. Use the lower-left knob to modify the colour
and the lower-right knob to modify the style.
Terrain can be rendered in three different levels. A higher level means more details. The
LX9000 is optimised to work with high terrain quality. If the value off is selected no terrain
will be shown; only water bodies, roads, railways and cities.
The background colour is defined by the Background item. The default background is
black.
