Hi Development Team,

If at all possible could the numbers on the top right of the map be made a bit LARGER. (TWS@deg and distace@angle)

See attachment.

From the "over 50" sailors, we appreciate your efforts,

Thank you,
Antonio (zero)

Alternatively, if the info that is associated with the cursor position could be displayed in the navigational panel under the Steer tab, it would be more readable.

The VMG/BS numbers in the steer tab, could do with being a bit bigger to.Hard to define 5's,6's and 8's when your getting old!!! :-)

The only thing is you cant use steering with it to get to best VMG!!also the numbers disappear in top right of screen.Still well found for other things:-)
Just found that my laptop has a magnifier, that works whilst steering and can see all numbers on screen!!

KiaKaha - where did you find your laptop magnifier? I have just experimented with the one I downloaded and found, as you did, that it doesn't help with steering!!
