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!!

Christmas to Christmas Island 2025

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, maybe quite possible with this Maxi Trimaran, but prepare your vessel well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2025 challenge of racing between Christmas Island in the Pacific to Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2025. Please have fun! Fair winds!
