the base display standard to turn on

presentation of object included in the

standard display and of course the

custom to turn on presentation of

objects including the additional

information display at the user

disc So yun Iyung

custom okay ang ginagamit sa Navigation

basically standard it reduces sa objects

on the chart yung pwede baka ma-distract

tayo So yung usually ginagamit natin but

if we need other information we go to

custom Okay so standard custom lang

talaga ang

ginagamit natin yung base that is only

there as the first layer of the chart

Tapos papatong na si standard papatong

na iung custom and of course yung all

lahat na ng object loed in the

additional information i-activate ni So

this are the Spot soundings This is also

very

important and if the setting is zero

all soundings are displayed so specify

mo kung anong sounding yan isolated

danger turn on display of isolated

danger with depths over them Larger Than

the safety

dep Okay then we have the cable

pipelines

names mga

pangalan Okay

so It will be also display other

information to turn on the display of

other information depth contour seed bo

name show all to turn all on the display

display all hide all it will hide the

information chart layer so iha-hire niya

okay scale bar Turn on the display of

chart scale graphic presentation Nandyan

yan sa left hand part of the screen yung

scale bar Okay Grid lines turn display

of the coordinate Grid if you want to

display it pwede namang

hindi chart boundaries to turn on the

display of shift folio chart boundary so

makita mo yung mapa mo hanggang saan

lang yan of course na Tex Turn on the

display of navtex message symbol So para

malaman mo kung merong navtex

message Dian sa lugar na yan if you have

enough text

message All right

then This is where you set the category

standard base standard custom and select

custom for

example and this are the custom so
