Release Notes:
389. This is a "fogging" effect on excessive overzoom. It is a linear fade, starting at OZ=10, and the chart detail is almost completely gone when OZ=30. The
screen assumes the blue color of the GSHHS background chart. Zooming can continue for all (now very faint) chart types up until the onscreen scale is about 1/600, depending upon latitude for mercator
charts. At 1/600, 2 metres (best
GPS accuracy) is about 3 mm, or 1/4 inch.
Please check and clear your Flyspray issues, if possible
Thanks, and good luck
