Before you begin

  • You must have Scala Full dongle.
  • You need to have incoming data from a GPS (position, heading)
  • You need to have specific GEBCO files. Ask your local Marport office to get them.

  3. Click Menu > Settings.
  4. Go to the Advanced tab, then click Browse in front of GEBCO Folder and select the folder Databases you created.
  5. Open a page with a 3D overview of the vessel.
