OPEN CPN & ENC Charts Question

[onehalfmoon]

Hi

I have searched and searched the forum for an answer to my question??

Open CPN, beta version, same issue with 3.0.2, Win7.
I have been using OPEN CPN with C93 charts for a number of years and have been very happy with it.

I recently added a number of Noaa ENC charts of FL and the SE USA. For some reason when I have these ENC charts selected I get a " U " symbol plastered all over the chart. With CM93 charts selected, no symbol??

I assume that it is some sort of general warning but I have been unable to find the meaning???

Any suggestions

If you read the FAQ, FAQ | Official OpenCPN Homepage you will find an explanation for the "U":s.

To get rid of them untick the "Meta objects" in the Toolbox vector tab.
In the latest beta, untick Options->Charts->Vector Charts->Chart Information Objects.

The NOAA:s ENC charts are made to an international standard, while nobody knows exactly how and why items or properties, appear or disappear in CM93.

HI Thanks for the reply.

With the new BETA version I see no "META Objects" option?

In Mariners Standard option setting, un-selecting the "Quality of Data" removes the "U" from the display.

That works for me!

Thanks Tom
