Layer.ptf [WGS84]
This tool allows you to create marks, lines and areas. These items are stored and displayed in "layers” on your MaxSea
display. When you click and hold your mouse down on this tool, you will be able to choose an active layer
PTF layer file: using the pencil tool while this layer is active will allow you to draw marks, circles, lines or areas (according
to user preferences) to a file. Although these marks will appear on Maxsea, they can not be set as destinations or used in
a route.
Marks may be saved, named and categorized, which will allow you to save and call up different display scenarios and
show only the marks you want to see. For example, you might want to only show marks and lines related to fishing a
particular area by saving and creating marks and lines in a layer file named “fishing.” To make a new layer, click on the
“File” menu of MaxSea, select “New” and choose the type of layer you want to create.
