Radar Chart Underlay

The "Furuno Radar Module" needs to be unlocked and radar configured to access this feature

A new Chart Underlay mode is available in the Radar WorkSpace. This mode displays a simplified chart underneath the radar echo to provide an image similar to a traditional radar.

Radar Underlay display

To enable Chart Underlay, select the Radar WorkSpace, click the Radar button on the ribbon, select Chart Underlay and select the chart to display from the currently installed vector chart types:

Note: only vector charts can be underlayed.

When activated, TimeZero displays vector charts using a specific chart preset dedicated to the radar display:

You can configure this specific Vector Chart preset of the Radar Chart Underlay by pressing "Chart Underlay Configuration..." button from the "Radar" Options.

The " Chart Underlay Configuration" dialog box offers exactly the same parameters as the "Vector Chart" options, with the exception of preset selection (only one is allowed), color theme (fixed) and the land features (disabled):

By default, vector objects are displayed as lightly as possible to avoid overloading the screen and masking radar echoes:

Note: The color theme automatically switches between the night mode color theme for black and dark blue radar backgrounds and the 'Official S52' color theme for white radar backgrounds

Tips: You can temporarily hide the chart by holding down CTRL + Space.
