this window, the vessel is being navigated to the popular San Francisco
waypoint BLKALL (Blackaller). The blue line shows the course to the active
waypoint and the trailing dashed line shows the track history. At the
side of the chart, the distance and bearing to the active waypoint are
shown. |

air and sea temperature are plotted on the chart. Both traditional vectors
with barbs or Beaufort scale filled vectors are available. Selecting the
