Introduction 

Charts+ Settings 

This will teach you how to view and change the settings within the application. It will go through each setting and what each one will mean for your application. 

We estimate that this will take 3 minutes to complete.

Detailed Explanation 

Charts+ Settings 

The Charts+ settings are available from the Menu button from any screen within the application. The settings are split into two sections.
 

• The User Subscription Information.
• Application settings.

In this topic we will cover the applications settings only. You will be able to find the user subscription information in the Installation learning module.

 The application setting will allow you to change the way the application works. It will enable you to show and hide certain different types of settings by turning them on and off. 

The settings menu with the two sections User/subscription info and App Settings. Let's go and look at the App Settings in more detail.
 

Click the Menu button.

    Settings are only accessed through the Menu button on the enroute screen. It cannot be accessed when looking in any other area, like aerodrome charts.

To access the Settings start by going to the Menu.

Click the Settings button.

The settings table is split into two sections. We will only talk about the "App Settings" in this topic.
 The setting list is split into categories labelled:

• General
• Route

Each one of these have sub categories within them that you can turn on and off using the slider.

Let's have a look at each of the settings in more detail. Currently you are viewing the bottom half of the list, to view the top half you will need to either use your mouse scroll wheel or alternatively you can click and hold your left mouse button and move the mouse up or down to scroll.

Enroute and Document Settings

Enable NAV INFO  - enabling this function will pop up important navigation information based on a defined radius (see NAV INFO Trigger Radius) from your current position.

NAV INFO Trigger Radius - this setting allows you to define the radius from your current position when an important navigational information pop-up should be displayed (top right corner of Enroute map). For instance, when you select 20NM, a pop up will be displayed if you enter a 20NM-radius circle around any FIR or WPT containing Nav Info.

Enable ERA Circles - turning this setting on will allow you to draw one or two circles at either a defined distance or defined speed and time around your ERA. Those default values will be used to fill any new ERA added to your ALTN list. They are not updating any ERA Circles values that are already present in your ALTN list. ERA Circles values are not saved when saving a route. When loading a route, current default values are used to fill ERA Circles values in ALTN list. Upon Entry Method change, default values are remembered on Windows, but not on iOS.
