3.5.1.6 Dynamic Nav-Aids
'MENU' + "MAP SETTINGS" +'ENTER' + "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. The default setting is Off.
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.
3.5.1.7 Mixing Levels
'MENU' + "MAP SETTINGS" +'ENTER' + "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. The
default setting is On.
