That's a good idea I never used Dan
In Response To: Every chartplotter I know of has a split screen. ()
I zoom out only when needed, and generally keep the higher resolution (smaller scale) on screen. I have used the split screen for radar and sounder, but now that I have the heading sensor interfaced this year I'll be able to overlay the radar on the charts. I'll try your split screen method.
