Cruisetrack Display page
The Cruisetrack Display page of the Variable Properties dialog box is used to control the way data is displayed for the cruisetrack of a position variable (i.e., position GPS fixes) or a bottom points variable. Default and Custom properties for thickness and colors on map-based windows are available on the Cruisetrack Display page of the EV File Properties dialog box.
To display a cruisetrack, on the Filesets window, select a position variable then select Cruisetrack.
Or use View menu > Cruisetrack > Fileset > Position variable.
Or use View menu > Cruisetrack > Bottom points variable.
Mapping Properties...
The Mapping Properties... button opens the Mapping page of the EV File Properties dialog box. The settings on the Mapping page allow you to select the mapping projection for geographic data. You can select a WMS map, WMTS map, or map/waypoint file to display as a background on the cruisetrack window.
Warning: Echoview is not a navigational tool. Any map files supplied with Echoview show indicative positions of coastlines only; they do not show navigational hazards. Echoview Software is not responsible for the content of online maps, and does not guarantee that they are rendered accurately within Echoview.
