Online Mooring allows providers to define additional items that should appear on the chart. The Chart Feature page allows you to view and/or update information about a single Chart Feature.
Fields
Title - Enter a title of the chart feature. This title will appear on the list of chart features on the Map Layer page, and at the top of the pop-up window that appears when you click on the feature.
Location - This is the location of the feature. There are multiple ways to define the position of the feature:
Chart - To define a feature's location for the first time, click one or more times on the chart. Line features require at least two points, and area features require at least three points. To add a new point to the definition of your feature, drag any of the little boxes that appear between the existing points that you've defined. To remove a point from the definition of your feature, right-click on that point.
Coordinate List -
When you are trying to define a point, you can simply enter the coordinates of that point.
When you are trying to define a line or area, you can select the radio button to define the feature by "Coordinate List", and then enter the coordinates that define the line or area. Each line should contain a latitude and longitude, separated by a comma. If you are defining a line, you need to specify at least two lines. If you are defining an area, you need to specify at least four lines, with the coordinates on the first and last line being the same, and the points must be specified in counter-clockwise order. When specifying a coordinate, you can specify degrees, minutes, and/or seconds separated by a space, and the minutes and seconds are optional.
KML - This is the format supported by Google Earth for defining geographic features.
1) Use the file picker to select the file containing the geographic feature that you want to load
2) A KML file can potentially contain multiple features (for example, a definition of all your mooring fields), but on this page we can only import the definition of one feature (i.e., one mooring field). If there are multiple features in your KML and you don't provide us any additional information about which of those features to load, we'll simply load the first feature definition in the KML file. If that isn't what you want, you have two ways to specify which feature you want us to load. The first way is that you can specify which feature number you want us to load (for example, enter 2 to have us load the 2nd feature definition). The second way is that you can specify the name of the feature as it appears in the KML file. If you enter a number or name that doesn't exist (for example, there is 1 feature and you tell us to load feature #2, or you ask us to load the feature named "XXX" and there is no feature named XXX, we won't load anything.
KMZ - If you have a KMZ file, you can relatively easily convert it to a KML file and then load the KML file. To do that:
1) Change the extension on the file from KMZ to ZIP, because a KMZ file is in fact a ZIP file.
2) Extract the KML file from inside the KMZ/ZIP file
3) Load the KML file using the instructions above
Public - If you want to make chart feature visible to everyone, click this box. If it is not checked, then it is only visible to administrators.
Marker Symbol - If your chart layer contains points, you can choose how each feature will look. If you leave this blank, the feature will be shown using the default marker symbol that you selected on the Map Layer page.
LIne Color - If your chart layer contains lines or areas, you can choose how they will look. Areas are displayed with a line around the outside edge. If you leave this blank, the line will be drawn using the default line color that you selected on the Map Layer page.
Fill Color - If your chart layer contains points, you can choose how they will look. If you leave this blank, the area will be drawn using the default fill color that you selected on the Map Layer page.
Field 1-5 - For each chart feature, you can record 5 attribute values. On this page, you specify the values for a particular chart feature.
