Re: Beta Test / Technical

Symbols in charts are defined by the issuing Authorities, based in standards from IMO, in case of ECDIS, there are different symbols from raster charts and vector ones.
in ECDIS displays there is one option to show the symbols "like" tradicional paper charts (raster).
from one side it understood that symbols should be different in order differentiate both charts quickly.
bear in mind that in raster charts you could not query on any information of the chart because it's a simple scanned image, they are what you just see in the screen and nothing else, rather than the vector ones that symbols are information in their definition.

Re: Beta Test / Technical

Hello All! I am testing OpenCPN 5.9.1 with regards to ability to receive external data from my own application through virtual serial port using WPL nmea messages. It works perfect in OpenCPN daytime Color Scheme. But if I select any other Color Scheme all waypoynts become invisible on the screen. Could be good to make WPL waypoints visible in all Color Schemes

AISea...
If the icon used is the triangel I agree it's hard to see on dark color schemes.
Now I don't fully remember for the WPL function but try to change default WP icon to for example "1st-Diamond" and see if next WPL message use that icon instead.
