  • Language: menu → Language. Twelve to choose from (Croatian, English, German, Italian, French, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Slovenian, Hungarian, Bosnian, Serbian), or “System default” to follow the phone. If your phone speaks a language the app does not have yet, you get English. Spotted a clumsy translation? The box at the bottom of the Language page opens an email to us with your text already in it. Language has its own row in the main menu, not buried in Settings, so a charter guest switches in two taps.
  • Units: menu → Units. Three separate choices: Speed (km/h or mph, the line under the knots), Distance (km, mi or NM) and Depth & heights (m or ft). Mix them as you like, knots with nautical miles and metres is a common pick. The big speed number is always in knots. That one is not a setting.
  • Keep screen on: Settings → “Keep screen on while navigating” (on by default) stops the phone from locking while you follow a route or head to a mark, so the beeps and the arrow keep working. Switch it off to save battery.
  • Night mode: Settings → Night mode. “Day”, “Night”, or “System” to follow the phone’s appearance. Night dims the whole app AND the chart itself into a dark palette, so it does not wreck your night vision in the cockpit.
