The eCharts settings file.
We estimate that this will take 3 minutes to complete.
Detailed Explanation
eCharts.Settings.ini
This is only related to users who have Charts+ on a Windows device. If you are using Charts+ on an iOS device you can go directly to Chapter 2.
The eCharts.Settings.ini file contains NAVBLUE Charts+ Windows low level settings that cannot be updated through content packages via EFBConfiguration.xml. You will be able to locate the file in C:\Program Files\Navtech\Navtech Charts on a 32 bit system and C:\Program Files (x86)\Navtech\Navtech Charts on a 64 bit systems.
Let's have a look at the global setting used by Charts+.
