The Color column (label Cl) contains a single letter that is the first character of the color name. Colors are light and

dark: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Cyan, Magenta, Orange, Gray, and, of course, black (indicated with a Blank so as not to

be confused with Blue).

To change a Symbol (in the Symbol column) (label Sy) to a character that is not one of the keyboard characters, you can

paste one from another waypoint or from the Windows' CHARACTER MAP in the ACCESSORIES group of

START>PROGRAMS. Use the SYSTEM font selection and copy the appropriate symbol. Keep in mind the global

search and replace function for wholesale changes. The Symbol column is a hold over from earlier versions that did not

have an Icon column.

The Group column is for use when transferring waypoints or routes to a GPS. Modern GPSs can handle thousands of

waypoints, so to help manage them, some allow the user to group the waypoints into folders. This field holds the names

of those folders.

3.2 Display with L/L & R/B Hot Key Ctrl-L

This display style has Latitude and Longitude occupying the 2nd and 3rd columns and has Range and Bearing to the

Inlet reference point occupying the 4th and 5th columns. Loran information is displayed in the last two columns. The

chain number lets you know whether the data was originally Loran TDs or Lat/Lon.

3.3 Display with User Style Hot Key Ctrl-U

If you have set a user style with DISPLAY> SET USER STYLE, this command uses that display form.

3.4 Set User Style

This command allows you to capture a display style you have created by column moving and re-sizing. You rearrange

the columns and set the column widths to your liking. Click on the column header and drag it to another position to re-

order columns. Click on the right hand column separator and drag it to resize the column width. When you are satisfied,

use this selection to capture your preferred style for use with the DISPLAY WITH USER STYLE command. This style

will be saved with your USER PREFERENCES.

3.5 Display Tracks

This display style has only 3 columns, Latitude, Longitude, and a column that flags the start of track segments.

3.6 Display on (Simple) Chart Hot Key Ctrl-G

This command displays a simple chart of the waypoints on the screen. For the purposes of the program, a simple chart is

defined as an ad-hoc graphical representation of the file area as opposed to a copy of a NOAA chart. The simple chart

starts with a blank sheet to which are added layers that may have Lat/Lon lines, Loran lines,

Range/Bearing lines, waypoints, a coastline, tracks, routes, etc. You select the layers with CHART OPERATIONS>

CHARTING OPTIONS. The program first tries fitting all the waypoints in the file on the screen. This can sometimes

backfire if one of your points is in Nepal. That happens if you get the sign of the longitude wrong. Once you have made

sure that all your points are in the same region, it should give you a good chart. The simple chart shows an uncluttered

view of your data. Contrasted to that is the NOAA charting that uses a digitized official paper NOAA chart. NOAA

charts cannot be zoomed or panned infinitely like the simple charts can, and are cluttered with data that may obscure

your waypoints. Bathymetric charts are even more cluttered.

When displaying a chart, the CHART OPERATIONS menu is enabled and you can pick operations from it. You can

also use the right mouse button to bring up this menu. Panning can be done by using the cursor control keys; the number

keys, or by using the SELECT A NEW CHART CENTER menu item. The number keypad method of panning

assumes you have a number keypad. These allow you to pan in 8 directions. For example, the number 7 key moves the

1 2 ... 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 ... 129 130
