Re: Feature Requests

That would help, and at the end of the first paragraph of the Layer section you might add "Layers may be imported temporarily or permanently." And have a link to the that section.

Re: Dynamicaly load layers with charts

Large layer files are a problem, as well as large track files etc. One solution is to get a faster computer. Or divide the layers by type e.g. marinas, anchorages, bridges, etc. This works for me...

Re: Feature Requests

If you were to form a group and remove the charts from that group, it would be persistent across restarts.

More involved? Yes, but doable. However, once you delete a chart from a group you can't...

Re: Feature Requests

What I think we're talking about is chart clutter.

I would like to have a way to turn hide all WP names. A check box in the Route Manager would be nice. SAS Planet has this.

If anyone else is...

Re: Feature Requests

If something falls on the return key, all the marks created will have the same name and, most likely, be at the top of the waypoints list. Simply select the first and last and "delete".

Re: Feature Requests

The MOB button drops a mark, and can be used repeatedly. Of course some confusion may result if you have a real MOB.

You might want to use the right click to drop a waypoint. This requires 2...

Re: Feature Requests

I get different effects with ENC and RNC charts. I'm not sure that the ENC/Night Mode/Button bar is bright enough to ruin my night vision, but it's brighter than the RNC version.

The other thing I...
