[COG LINE] : The tip of the COG line is your estimated position at the end of the time
interval selected here. The COG line can be a valuable tool for evaluating the risk of
collision with another vessel if AIS targets are displayed. A target whose vector passes
through your ship's position is on a collision course. The [Infinite] option extends the
line to the edge of the screen.
[HEADING LINE] : Show or hide the heading line.
[SHIP ICON] : You can display the ship icon in one of four configurations.
[SHIP OFFSET] : Activate or deactivate the ship offset feature. The ship icon is auto-
matically moved to the opposite position on screen based on your boat’s course when
the icon nears the edge of the screen while you scroll the chart.
[QUICK INFO] : Select what objects to show quick information for.
[On Points]: Show quick information for points (chart objects, points, routes, track).
[On All]: Show quick information for anything selected with the cursor
[Off]: Turn off the quick information feature.
[ZERO HANDLING] : Show or hide leading zeroes in point name. [Zero Padding]
shows all zeroes; [Zero Suppress] hides leading zeroes.
For example, [Zero Padding] displays “PT00102”; [Zero Suppress] displays “PT102”.
