Shallow contourChart Shallow contour

Determines the depth at which the Shallow contour is displayed. The Shallow contour cannot be set to a value greater than the Safe contour or Deep contour value.

This setting is available when using LightHouse™, legacy LightHouse™ and S-63 vector charts.

Numeric depth value

Safe contourChart Safe contour

Determines the depth at which the Safe contour is displayed.

The Safe contour cannot be set to a value that is less than the Shallow contour or greater than the Deep contour.

This setting is available when using LightHouse™, legacy LightHouse™ and S-63 vectors charts.

Numeric depth value

Shallow areaChart Shallow area

Enables and disables identification of areas deemed to be shallow. When enabled, a red hatched area is displayed in areas shallower than the depth specified in the Zero to field.

This setting is available when using Navionics® charts.

  • On

  • Off

Deep contour:ChartDeep contour

Determines the depth at which the deep contour is shown. E.g. if you set this to a value of 30 meters, any water with a depth greater than 30 meters will be displayed as a deep contour.

This setting is not available for Raster charts.

Numeric depth value

Allows you to specify the gradient shade between shallow and deep.

This setting is available when using LightHouse™ and legacy LightHouse™ vector charts.
