Display configuration allows you to modify properties within these five areas:
•Map elements
•By default the scale will always appear on the maps, but if you do not want to see it, you can remove if this option is not selected.
•If you choose to ‘use mouse scroll arrows in the windows borders’, when approaching to the edge of the screen an arrow will appear. By pressing mouse’s left button, the view will move to the arrow’s direction.
•If you select ‘Show scroll bars’ two scroll bars will appear on screen, these bars will allow you to scroll horizontally and vertically.
•When working with your maps, you can customize the map inertia in which is scrolled. The inertia map option also allows you to move the map without any inertia at all.
•If you select ‘See hints for objects on screen’, when the cursor is resting on any object (map, waypoint, route, track, relief...) an information box will appear next to cursor. That box will provide information about the selected object (names, altitudes, latitudes, longitudes, distances…).
•The user can also decide if he want the compass to be always shown, just on rotations or even not showing the compass at all.
•Selecting the option Draw map corners you will see the edges of all the maps simultaneously on view on the main window with their corresponding coordinates.
•Show POIs on the map lets you display at the very same map all points of interest.
•User can change the background colour of the maps to suit their own tastes.
•3D reliefs
•Draw relief. When this option activated the borders of the available landscapes will be drawn on top of the available reliefs. This option works in the same way as the other option available when you work with maps: view borders of all maps.
•With ‘Draw landscape in the 3D view even if raster map is loaded’ option selected, the best 3D relief for that view will be shown once the 3D viewer is on.
•The option draw landscape with shadows makes viewing any landscape clearer and more attractive because it incorporates artificial shadows to the view.
•A landscape can be drawn with scaled colouring determined by the altitude. In this way it is easier to establish the altitude of each point. To activate this option, select Scaled altitude colour change. You can choose the separation of the altitude lines by opening the fold-down window below this option and choosing from the four available separations: (100, 200, 500 o 1000 metros).
•As well as the scaled altitude colour changes, you can make altitude reading even more clearer by drawing in the altitude lines if you activate the option Draw level lines.
•At colours relief option the user can choose between three different color scales.
•At customize, the user can apply a more personal touch to the colour scale.
•Animation
•Click on the function Animation speed to increase the speed of the 2D animation of a track in relation with the track’s real speed.
•Click on the function Animation mode to choose between the different movements of the icons. You have the following options:
•Move icon on top of the track: when in movement, the icon will move along the drawn track.
•Move icon without drawing the track: when in movement, the icon with move along the path of the track, but the track is not drawn.
•Simultaneously move icon and draw track: the movement of the icon will simultaneously draw track as the icon travels along the path of the track.
•Move icon and hide the track: when in movement, the icon will rubout the track it is travelling along.
•Animation pointer: Allows you to chance the mouse symbol.
•Change icon: Click on this button to change the icon and choose between the different possibilities. Icons for 2D and 3D are configured separately.
•You can also change size of the 3D icon.
•Grids
•Some users prefer to see the projection grid while working with maps because this tool guides them.
•If you want to see the projection grid, you can also choose the color of their lines.
•Another parameter that can be configured is the spacing interval (km) between each line of the grids. The user can choose the distance between them.
•If you select ‘Show labels’ Land/Air will show you the value of each of the grid lines.
•At ‘View the degrees grid’ the user can change the colour and the degrees of the grid.
•As in the past example, the user can change also the colour of the minutes.
•Modify the range of separation degrees.
•You can also change the font size of the labels.
•If you select ‘Show labels’ Land/Air will show the value of each of the UTM grid lines.
•If you select ‘Use the datum of primary map’, Land/Air will use the datum that has the primary map.
•Graphs
•In X-axis values you can choose between distance or time as parameters for display on the horizontal axis of the graph.
•In Y-axis values you can choose the parameter you want to be shown on the vertical axis of the graph. For that, you must click on ‘Set the Y-axis fields’. This opens a dialog box that allows you to add or remove fields to act as variables in the Y-axis. You can choose more than one field to display based on the parameter X. If this is the case, each parameter will draw a different graphic, non-overlapping: The Y axis will be divided into as many parts as parameters selected.
•‘To take account the day': Show a graph of several tracks with different times starting from origin.
•Data tree
•Land/Air allows the possibility to present on waypoints and tracks lists extra information related to these elements such as date, distance, height, relative bearing arrow, track color.... The information is presented in a 2nd line right after the name of the item and it can be customized showing multi-selectable data fields.
NOTE: The data contained in the 2nd line is only available for tracks and waypoints which have been saved using TwoNav 2.5 or Land/Air 7.3 (or higher).
•Display elements listed in the data tree using two different modes:
•Classify open files in branches: If option is checked, show elements in classification branches grouped by types of files.
•Don't classify open files in branches: If option is unchecked, show elements without classification branches.
•Animated data tree: When loading elements from the data tree, Land/Air will display an animation effect in order to easily see in which elements are you working in.
