Where do you switch between Paper Chart Symbols and Simplified Symbols in the ENCs?
ENCs, or Electronic Navigational Charts, are digital versions of paper nautical charts that are used for navigation. In ENCs, different symbols are used to represent features such as buoys, obstructions, and shorelines.
The switch between paper chart symbols and simplified symbols in ENCs can typically be found in the settings or display options of the software or app that is being used to view the charts.
For example, in ECDIS (Electronic Chart Display and Information System), the settings for symbol display can be found in the "Chart Display" or "Chart Display Options" menu, and there may be a setting to switch between "Standard" or "Simplified" symbols.
Similarly in other ENC software like ENC viewer, it can be found in the settings or display options and have the option to turn on/off the Simplified or Detailed Symbol display.
It's important to note that the availability of this option may depend on the specific software or app that you are using, and you may also want to check the user manual or documentation of the software for specific instructions on how to switch between different symbol sets.
