Dynamic Nav Aids

[MENU] + "DYNAMIC NAV-AIDS" + [ENTER]
This function allows settings blinking lights on Nav-Aids. The blink period and
color of each Nav-aid is read from the Nav-Aid attributes available on the data
cartridge. When the ship is inside the Nav-Aid nominal range, the light of the Nav-
Aid will start blinking.
When Dynamic Nav-Aids option is set to On, when the flashing light is Off, or
when fix position is out of the sector, the light color is displayed by using a faint
light color.

Map Orientation

[MENU] + "MAP ORIENTATION" + [ENTER]
The possible choices are listed in the table below:
North : The map is shown with North upwards.
Head : The map is shown with the ship's current heading upwards. If Head is selected, insert the Map
Orientation Resolution angle in the range [5, 60] degrees.
Course : The map is shown with the currently selected course leg upwards. If Course is selected, insert the
Map Orientation Resolution angle in the range [5, 60] degrees.

Mixing Levels

[MENU] + "MIXING LEVELS" + [ENTER]
When the map coverage at the current zoom level does not fill the entire screen,
the chart plotter draws the rest of the map expanding the cartographic information
read from, at most, two zoom levels above the current zoom level. For this reason
the map is drawn three times: firstly it draws the two levels before the current
level and then the current level. The area covered by the cartographic data read
from the previous levels is identified by a dotted pattern. When the cursor is
moved on an area not covered by data of the current level the chart plotter
zooms out to the first level covered by cartographic data.
NOTE The Mixing Levels
