Hi All Just trying to find some information on changing the size of the numbers on the chart itself. I can't seem to find a setting that will change the size of the numbers so I can't tell if it is 60 feet or 80 feet until I actually get to it and by then my cannon balls could be slamming ground. If anyone has some info I would be grateful for the help.

If your referring to just your navionics. Make sure you are zoomed in far enough that it shows the water depth on your charts. Or back it out a little bit so you can see the numbers.

No matter how far I zoom in the depth numbers stay the same size which is unreadable

Unfortunately the numbers are sized via screen size.
Helix 5 is not large enough for detailed maps.

I know nothing of these things, but if you can't see the # maybe you can set up by colors for different depths?

Pisses me off too! They need to fix this to be viewer friendly.

And forget colour coding for depth... I am colour deficient so just fix the damn font :roll:
