Very Large scale wgs 84 electronic charts

MEMORY-MAP USER GUIDE (legacy app)

iPAD OR iPHONE

The way you use Memory-Map on a tablet is quite different from a PC.

 

Two key rules:

 

· The exact centre of the screen is the key to finding your way around

 

· The + and - icons are the best way of zooming in and zooming out (better than squeezing or expanding your fingers)

 

Hint: if the + and -  zoom icons don’t appear: tap right arrow at bottom of screen; then cogwheel icon for settings; then General settings; then turn on Show zoom buttons.  

The best way to find a chart:

 

Use the Chart Folder icon—bottom left

 

Tap on it and it will show you all the charts and maps that cover the exact centre of the screen.

 

Tap on our West Coast Selector chart and it will open. Drag it so the area you want is in the exact centre of the screen and tap on the chart folder icon again. If you see the chart you want, select it. If not go to a larger scale Selector chart and repeat.

 

Hint: if you have a lot of charts and maps on your iPad you may need to scroll the list both up and down to find the one you want.

Alternative: zoom out; get the area you are interested in in the exact centre of the screen; use the + icon to zoom in, adjusting the position of each chart so that the area you want remains in the exact centre of the screen.

To use your GPS with the charts:

 

Go to Settings and ensure ‘Location’ is ‘On’. If an iPad/Phone, ensure Memory-Map is also ‘On’ in the ‘Location Services’ window.

 

If ‘Location’ was off you may need to give your device a long time to work out where it is. If there is no mobile signal the GPS on its own can take 20 minutes for its initial fix!

GPS based position

 

Lock the position to a fixed point on the screen using the central icon

To measure distance use a flag.

 

Tap on it and drag it around the screen with your finger.

 

It shows distance and bearing from your location.

 

To get rid of it use blue drop-down arrow.

 

To create a flag, tap on flag icon at bottom of screen. It appears in centre of screen. Drag to where you want to plant it.
