Map Configuration Functions
The Map can be config-
ured to show the objects
that best suit your navi-
gation needs. Object at-
tributes can be viewed
on the map screen if the
object is turned on in
Map Configuration.
C-MAP's cartography closely matches the source
charts and their scales in order to give the user the
most accurate digital chart navigation capability.
As you pan over the map, you may notice the scale
changing slightly even though a zoom-in or zoom-
out is not performed. This happens because you
are moving between charts that use different scales.
