C-MAP specific chart options
Chart overlay, orientation, and look ahead options (previously described in this section) are common to both C-MAP and Navionics charts. The following describe C-MAP specific chart options.
Chart detail
•Full

•Medium
Minimum information sufficient for navigation.
•Low
Basic level of information that cannot be removed, and includes information that is required in all geographic areas. It is not intended to be sufficient for safe navigation.
Depth palette
Controls the Depth palette used on the map.
Depth filter
Filters out depth values shallower than the selected depth filter limit.
Safety depth
C-MAP charts use different shades of blue to
distinguish between shallow (lighter shades) and deep (darker shades) water. After enabling Safety depth, specify the
desired safety depth limit. The Safety depth sets the limit at which depths will be drawn without blue shading.
Chart categories
Several categories and sub-categories are included. You can turn on/off the categories individually depending on which information you want to see.
