5.5 Zoom 2X 1/2X 5X 1/5X Hot Keys F3 F4 F5 F6

These functions allow you to zoom in and out in ratios of 2 or 5. Learn these hot keys as they are very useful.

5.6 Identify Waypoint (On Chart)

The Identify Waypoint command will print the description of a waypoint on the bottom line of the display with Loran or

Lat/Lon depending on your display mode. You click on (or near) a waypoint on the screen. The cursor will change to

cross hairs to let you know it is in this mode. Click on the upper left corner of the bounding rectangle of the waypoint

name.

5.7 Create A Map from This Chart

An easy way to make a MAP of a certain area is to zoom and pan the chart display until the waypoints you want are

displayed on the screen. Then you use this command to make a MAP for that area. The CREATE MAP window will

open with the MAP borders already determined. After the MAP is made, you are returned to the chart screen. To view

the MAP you just created, select VIEW MAP. Keep in mind that, in portrait print mode, the paper is taller than the

screen for the same width. The MAP area will therefore include some waypoints that were above and below the screen.

Landscape orientation will better match the typical screen display in area.

5.8 Print This Chart

This command prints what you see on the screen but the area printed may be taller and narrower than the area displayed

because of the different shapes of the paper and screen. The printout will be titled: “Instant Plot”.

5.9 Coastline

Coastlines will be put on all charts unless canceled by REMOVE COASTLINE. The coastline files are organized as

US only or World Wide in two resolutions each. The program will attempt to pick the appropriate coastline for the area

displayed. If you are plotting outside the US, you will need to use the world coastlines and if in the US you can use

either. The resolution of the US only coastlines are higher than the world coastlines. If showing a large area, plotting

the highest resolution would slow the screen refresh. Therefore, the program will automatically reduce the resolution if

you zoom way out. Normally, the program starts with coastlines enabled.

In order for the coastlines to plot, the coastline files must be in the LoranGPS folder. They are the four large files with

.CSR extensions.

5.10 Features (Add Features)

This file type could be called Points Of Interest (POI) and is intended to mark your maps and charts with names of points

you want on most maps. Note: With the inclusion of the new Name field, a Features file becomes less necessary. I

create names for some of my waypoints and leave the rest linked to the row number. However, you can create a Features

file that works for several files. If you want to identify features or POI such as reefs, wrecks, buoys, and inlets with

symbols or names, you can create a Features file and use it with all your MAPs and charts. A Features file is formatted

like a regular waypoint file but with special characteristics. For each waypoint in this file you enter a symbol or a name

(in the Description field). To remove or disable Features from your charts, choose REMOVE. A Features file can be

used in conjunction with any waypoint file.

To put one of the symbols on a chart or MAP, you put the ASCII value of the symbol in the RATING field of the

Features file. The various symbols that can be put on the MAP and their ASCII (or ANSI) value are shown in the

1 2 ... 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 ... 129 130
