Set the angle delay to update the chart
You can use the angle delay setting to make the
Chart
screen reposition after your
vessel has become orientated a certain number of degrees off course, so that your
vessel's head still points to the top of the screen. (This works in both Look Ahead
mode and Center mode.)
For example, if you set the angle delay to 10°, the
Chart
screen will reposition
automatically when your vessel is 10° off course.
15° is the default.
This works only when the chart orientation is set to HeadUp or CourseUp.
