The Map Properties controls various options for an XPlot map.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Map Type | SailBlogs maps have been designed to provide quick reference to your current location relative to your previous positions as well as major land masses. NOTE: The map is not intended to be used as navigation or replace a chart, and cannot be "zoomed".
Map type can be one of two options, Coastal (default) or Offshore. Offshore offers a slightly wider view to show progress between continents and avoid "blue maps" (maps that show only water with no reference). |
Legend Title | A text field for indication of boat name or blog title. |
Enable Google Earth | When checked, a Google Earth network feed (a way for Google Earth to always show current data) will automatically be created. In addition, a link to the feed will appear on the map page of your blog. Refer to the Google Earth Homepage for more information. |
