Precision of save

Define the precision of your track (i.e. the interval between two saved points) in either time or distance.

We would advise a frequency of between 120 and 300 seconds (2 to 5 minutes) which is sufficiently adequate for normal navigation requirements.

Width of track

Click on the pop-up menu to select the desired track width.

Color of track

Select the color of your track by clicking on the corresponding pop-up menu, click on the desired color in the box and select, for example, the color red.

Variable color

You could chose a variable track color in accordance with one of the data sources recognized by the software (e.g. speed of the ship, wind force factor, etc.).

Note: the data sources are dependent upon the electronic equipment installed.

Firstly click on the radio button Variable Color then on the pop-up menu of available data to show the list of available data and select the data in accordance to which the color is to be varied (for example, speed).

Using the keyboard select the delimiting speed values by successively selecting text zones (for example, speed of less than 5 knots: blue track; speed exceeding 10 knots: red track; speed between the two: variable color).

Recording all data

If you have a version of MaxSea Super-Yacht it is possible to save all the input data (speed, course, wind, etc.) associated with any given point of the track.

To do this activate the check-box Record all input data which is situated in the top right-hand corner of the dialog box.
