This morning, while struggling with bad
internet, I got sidetracked trying to make the Depth Readings larger on my Vector
Charts. I am sorry to have to bring this up again, but it really is something that should be addressed. I realize it comes late to the
game again, with yet another release being planned.
Of course I started working with the Options > Display > Advanced Tab
"Chart Zoom Scale Weighting" adjustment. I was unable to get the faint grey text much larger than the screenshot, in fact I found that this adjustment does nothing for text size at all. It just adjusts how much detail is shown at different scales.
Now for me there is no way I can see the the Depth notations at this size. The Text is too light grey and the size is totally inadequate. Right now this is a minor aggravation, but if I ever plow into a rock or hummock, I might wish that I could see those Depth notations better, regardless of what ECDIS or any other "official" body might say (xxxx that). There are also "Universal Design Guidelines" for those handicapped (eyesight being one of the handicaps) and those principals which should also apply in this case.
I might add that I have been blessed to have 20/20 eyesight until recently and I can drive without glasses, so I am not that handicapped. This is all to make the point that we need to be able to scale the size of the Depth notations on vector
charts.
--So that's my 2 cents.
-- Now back to what I was doing, why can't I bring up the
Opencpn Wiki and everyone else in the world can? I've rebooted everything, cleaned caches and still I cannot get this page to load.
