Hi there,

It is as easy as:
In the setup, switch plotter mode to OFF

If your chart is covering the area wher you want to zoom in you should set
plotter mode to OFF.

The manuals says:
Plotter Mode enables you to zoom into a smaller area, even when no chart
data
is available for that scale. This allows you use the chartplotter functions
at
large scales even when a chart card is not installed.

Thanks for the response on the Radome. Here's another.
Switched from a RL70RC to a RL80CRC Plus. Moved the Cmap
cartridge over (2002) to the new unit, and I get no chart
information at any zoom level greater than 3 nm. I have put the
chart into another RL70CRC unit at Boat US, and the detail is there.
That unit's OS was 4.09

I noticed that the OS version for the 80 was 2.09 so I
ordered and installed the latest update, bringing it to 4.11
Same problem.

Could it be that the 10.4" display has different chart requirements
than a 7" display? I find that hard to believe, except that the
80 will go down to 1/64th of a mile, where the 70 is either 1/2
or 1/4, I don't remember.

Just checking to see if any Raymarine techs have seen this, and
know exactly what's going on.

I've tried it on both simulated, and real data because of the Radome
issue discussed elsewhere.

Hi again,

If I remember correctly it is done like this:

Push the MENU button until you are in chart mode.
Push the CHART SET UP soft key.
With the TRACK PAD scroll down to plotter mode.
Push the OFF soft key.

Now you should be all set to zoom in to 1/4NM

Hope this helps..

R, TomS

Good comment Tom,
I get this problem in the shop about once a month and during the summer
boating season, it is a common "Monday morning" phone question. Plotter mode
off is the way to go unless a person absolutely needs it on, and remembers
to turn it back off again.

Too bad the idiots that do the EEPROMS don't set Plotter OFF as
DEFAULT.....dammit.
