Colour & Symbol specifications for ECDIS, 4TH edition July 1997). Shoals are presented only with upright digits: no brackets or additional symbols (eg "+"). Soundings are presented with italic digits, with an inclination of 17° (ref INT 1, Chapter II, number 10). Shoals shallower than safety depth have bold digits. Wrecks are always shown with a wreck symbol and the sounding is shown to the side in parenthesis.
Disable Hash-Fill for Precautionary Areas (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, Precautionary Areas are not shown with a hash fill. This is a non-standard format and should be enabled only with care.

Disable Display of Dredged Area Patterns & Related Items (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, the dot patterns in dredged areas are not shown. The appearance is similar to that of normal depth areas. This also prevents display of outlines for Fairway features, which are commonly shown around dredged areas. This is typically enabled in order to reduce clutter on the display.

Note that to be hidden, a contour must be deeper than all contour settings: Shallow, Safety, and Deep Contour.
Highlight Low-Accuracy : When enabled, features with low-accuracy such as obstructions, with be highlighted.
Show Isolated Dangers : When enabled, isolated dangers in areas deeper than the Safety Contour are marked.
Isolated Danger in Shallow Areas : When enabled and Show Isolated Dangers, isolated dangers in areas shallower than the Safety Contour are marked. Only isolated dangers no deeper than Safety Contour are shown.

Warn About Old Charts (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, a large "Old Chart" warning is shown in the center of the chart display if the chart's Issue Date is at least 3 months old.
You can find the date of the a chart by double tapping in a location, pressing Details for this Location and then choosing Chart Information.

This should be used with care. It is typically enabled in order to reduce clutter on the display.
Disable Display of Coverage Outlines (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, coverage outlines for chart cells are hidden. This can be used to reduce clutter on charts.
Disable Display of Administrative Area & Similar (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, administrative areas (ADMARE) and similar (CONZNE, STSLNE, TESARE) are not displayed. Specifically, viewing group 36050 is disabled. This is normally selected in order to reduce clutter.
Disable Display of Restricted Area Symbols (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, symbols corresponding to restricted areas (RESARE) are not displayed. This is normally selected in order to reduce clutter. Any outlines and patterns are still shown (as selected by other options).
Disable Display of No-Wake Restricted Areas (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, No Wake restricted areas (RESARE) are not displayed. This is normally selected in order to reduce clutter. Other types of restricted areas are not affected.
