User Manual
It is possible to set the palette used to enhance the visibility of the screen depending
on the surrounding light condition. The possible choices are Normal, Classic, NOAA,
Night and Sunlight. Normal is recommended when the chart plotter is not exposed to the
direct sunlight. When this mode is set the maps are displayed in order to use colors as
similar as possible to the ones used in the original paper charts. Classic uses more vivid
colors (it is the default setting). Night is recommended when the environment is dark in
order to reduce the glare of the display. The chart plotter displays maps and screen in darker
colors. Sunlight is designed to enhance the visibility of the screen when the chart plotter is
exposed to the sunlight. The maps are much brighter than in the other modes and the depth
areas are filled with white color so different depth areas are not easily distinguishable. NOAA
allows setting NOAA paper chart colors presentation.

'MAP' for 1 second + "Map Orientation" + 'ENTER'
Selects the orientation of your chart according to: North (the map is shown with
North upwards), Head (the map is shown with the ship's current heading upwards), Course

3.5.1.4 Zoom Type
'MAP' for 1 second + " Zoom Type" + 'ENTER'
This feature allows more expansions or compression of the chart scale while
zooming in or out. Zoom Type has two options; Standard (default) or Flexi-Zoom. When
in Flexi-Zoom mode, a short 'ZOOM...' push causes a change of chart, whilst a long
'ZOOM...' push (press and hold) causes a pop-up window to be displayed on a corner of
the screen. The window shows the current Zoom factor. By pressing 'ZOOM IN'/'ZOOM
OUT' the map is expanded or compressed according to the zoom factor selected. The
window is automatically closed if 'ZOOM...' is not pressed for 2 seconds and the selected
zoom factor will be used at the next zoom in/out.

'MAP' for 1 second + "Fonts & Symbols" + 'ENTER'
On MAX charts it is possible to set the size of all names and symbols drawn on the
charts, selecting between Normal size (the regular characters size) and Large size. The default
setting is Normal.
