Harmonize depth curves in LightHouse charts

The Swedish Maritime Administration and Hydrographica handle their depth curves in different ways, which means that you can experience solid colored blocks in wide transitions between the different zones for the Swedish Maritime Administration and Hydrographica respectively.

To avoid these blocks, go in and adjust the settings for the depth curves under the settings for LightHouse charts.

Smaller boats
For smaller boats that do not need the 6 meter curve, shallow water is set to 2m and deep water to 3m. Then you get exactly the right presentation in Hydrographica areas with dark blue 0-2 and light blue 2-3m and then white. No sharp edges marking these areas. In the Maritime Administration areas you get dark blue 0-3m and then white. So no light blue 3-6m curve at all.

Larger boats
For larger boats and sailboats that must have a clearly marked 6m curve. Recommended as shallow water 3m, deep water from 6m but then everything above 3m in Hydrographica's areas will be light blue.

ATTENTION!
With updated chart and software in the screen, the presentation from the start will be such that the blue marked Hydrographica areas are white and blend better into the presentation.
