11.3.2 Weather Menu Description
You can show sea surface temperature (SST), wave forecast and wind forecast to-
gether on the full screen display. In the split window configuration, only one can be
displayed on either screen. Only one of the three can be shown in “plain color” when
all three are displayed, and SST has priority.
Overlay Color Transparency
Adjust the level of transparency for the weather overlay. Select this item with the Ro-
toKey then push the RotoKey. Rotate the RotoKey to set then push the key to vali-
date your setting. Use a large figure to increase the level of transparency.
Auto SST Color Scale
Activate this feature to adjust the SST color scale automatically according to sea sur-
face temperature.
Manual SST Color Range
Set the SST color range when Auto SST Color Scale is deactivated. The setting range
is +00.00 to 99.99 (degrees Fahrenheit).
