The chart, «Where am I» and the minimap

Sea and sailing

The minimap (top right) opens the chart. Its chips switch the layers; «Where am I» brings your ship back into view.

  1. The chart of the known sea. The chips on top are layers: «Ports», «Goals», «Lairs», «Treasure», «All», «Shipyards». Tap one to show or hide it; the choice is remembered. «All» also draws the currents.

  3. The minimap shows 4.5 km around the ship. A tap opens the big chart; a long press sets a mark and sends the helmsman to it. The arrow on its rim is the wind.
