Navigation & Display

In the app: Settings > Navigation & Display -- "Map rotation, pins, units, heading line projection"

How the chart behaves and what it draws on top of itself: rotation, pin sizes, units, and the heading line projected ahead of your vessel.

Settings

Setting What it does
Allow Map Rotation Let the map rotate with your device's orientation instead of staying north-up.
Don't Turn Off Display Keep the screen awake while the app is open. Uses more battery.
Hide Nav Bars on Phones (Landscape) Maximize map space by hiding the navigation bars when a phone is turned sideways.
Use Statute Miles (vs Nautical) Show distances in statute miles instead of nautical miles.
Boundary Distance Overlay Show the distance to the nearest boundary line at the top of the map.
