Version 6.19 of PC Plotter adds more data that can be displayed in the extremely useful "Data Windows". If you have not used the data windows before, create one using the "
Create Data Window" button in the "
View" button bar. Then right click the data window and select "
Data Window Properties (and select the data to display)". You will then get a large list of data that you can display in this data window including "Destination Waypoint Number", Bearing and distance to the destination waypoint, "Waypoint Closure Velocity", XTE and a new steering indicator. The steering indicator has a variable size steering indicator, dependent on how far the vessel is from the route track.
All data windows can be resized to any size (you can fill the whole display if you wish with a data window) or they can be setup to show only on a second screen. These data windows can also be docked, created as tabs or as fly-out windows just by dragging and dropping these data windows together.
