Transparency

The SonarChart Live overlay is drawn on top of other chart data. The
chart data is completely covered at minimum transparency. Adjust
the transparency to allow the chart details to be seen.

Minimum depth

Adjusts what SonarChart Live rendering treats as the safety depth.
This affects the coloring of the SonarChart Live area. As the vessel
approaches the safety depth, the SonarChart Live area will gradually
change from a simple grey/white to red.

SCL History

Ú

Note: 

If no active Navionics chart subscription is found, the

SonarChart Live menu option changes to SCL History.

Select to display previously recorded data on the chart overlay.

SC Density

Controls the density of the SonarChart and SonarChart Live
contours.

Colored seabed areas

Used for displaying different depth areas in different shades of blue.

Navionics Dynamic tides and current icons

Shows tides and currents with a gauge and an arrow instead of the
diamond icons used for static tides and current information.
The tide and current data available in Navionics charts are related to
a specific date and time. The system animates the arrows and/or
gauges to show the tides and currents evolution over time.
