The waypoints can be displayed as numbers, names, symbols, icons, or dots. The numbers are the list numbers in the
waypoint file and the symbols are the symbols entered in the waypoints' Symbol field. If no symbol is entered for a
waypoint, the list number is used instead when plotting symbols. The Name is the GPS short name and asterisks are
used for the dots. Icons are printed with the waypoint number following.
The Lat/Lon line spacing is specified in minutes. If the spacing is too large or small due to zooming, they are re-spaced.
Range and bearing lines can also be placed on the chart. They are relative to the R/B reference point shown in the
bottom of the selection window. The bearing lines radiate out from the reference point and the range lines encircle it.
You can also specify that a list of the waypoints associated with (falling within the borders of) this MAP be printed on a
separate page after a MAP is printed.
These settings (except for R/B reference) can be saved. This dialog also allows setting the page margins. It’s a good
idea to set these before creating MAPs so the computer will know what area is available for printing.
Colors for the lines on the CHART or MAP can be selected by pushing the CHOOSE COLORS button. On the color
selection window, click on the line type or feature you want changed and select a color from the palette.
Since some laptop monitors do not show the colored lines well in bright sunlight, you can also de-select displaying
colors. This will display all colors as Black including the colored lines. Additionally, some printers do not show the
colored lines dark enough in the B&W mode, so you can deselect printing colors on the Printing Setup form. This will
print all colors as Black on White.
5. Chart Operations Menu
In this program, charts are defined as graphical displays with lines and waypoints on them that are created and displayed
temporarily. These are different from MAPs, which are based on a predefined area and are stored on the disk. This
menu column deals with both charts and MAPs. It is dimmed unless you are in DISPLAY CHART or VIEW MAP
