When the CPN Series Chart Plotter receives a valid position fix, the Tide icons are shown
on the charts on the basis of the current date and time: the screen displays and changes
arrows as date/time changes.
: Turns the Seabed Type On or Off.
: Turns the Ports and Service icons (areas along the shore with facilities for mooring, loading
and uploading of ships, generally sheltered from waves and winds; Port installations are
piers, wharves, pontoons, dry docks, cranes) On or Off.
: Turns the Tracks and Routes objects (recommended and established Routes for ships at sea,
including traffic separation schemes, deep water routes) On or Off.
: Selects among three different Depth Shading Modes: Safe, Dynamic and Dynamic Inverted.
Each shading method presents the depth area, and the color used to display it, according to a
different rule. In Dynamic and Dynamic Inverted modes, it is possible to highlight a particular depth
area selecting a depth interval; you can choose a particular depth range and each depth area which
overlaps these values will be highlighted with a defined color.
Dynamic: When shading mode is set to Dynamic, the depth areas are drawn using a color
defined dynamically according the depth of the other areas that have to be displayed. It
is possible to summarize the behavior of this mode in these few steps: first of all, any depth
will be collected in a ordered list, then 32 different blue colors from dark blue to white are
assigned to these values. White is used to draw the highest depth area.
Dynamic Inverted: Dynamic Inverted mode is similar to Dynamic mode; the only
difference is that dark blue will be used for the highest depth area and white for the lowest
depth area.
Safe: Safe mode allows you to identify the areas with a depth above a value specified by
you (see the Safe Depth option). This shading mode is very important to identify the map
region where the depth is greater than a specified value and for this reason the shipping
can be considered safe.
: In Safe mode, it is necessary to set the value for the Safe Depth to identify safe and unsafe
area. If this value is not set, all depth areas appear with the same color. Sets the value in
the range 0 - 1000ft.
: Sets the minimum depth limit for Spot Soundings and Depth Contours.
: Sets the maximum depth limit for Spot Soundings and Depth Contours.
