oeSENC + OpenCPN no depth contours?

[duncan_m]

Wondering if I'm doing something wrong with OpenCPN. I haven't been using it too long but don't seem to be able to get depth contours to show. Bought the oeSENC chart for British Isles and installed it no problem.

Do the charts include contours or have I missed a setting?

I've been into vector settings and enabled contours in 'Mariners standard' and clicked on 'Depth soundings'. If anyone has any suggestions they'd be welcomed!

Resolved! As I still had the openseamap KAP chart file loaded it wasn't showing. All working now

Are you zoomed in enough?

Perhaps select every option under Vector display including maximum detail on the slider and zoom right in and see if the contours appear.

If anyone else has this problem, the Display Category dropdown has been moved to the "hamburger" menu in the bottom right of the screen. "Mariners Standard" no longer exists but Selecting "All" here restores the contours.

Selecting User Standard allows you to choose what you want to see on the charts - Tools->Options->Charts->Vector Chart Display - If User Standard has been selected, the User Standard Objects list here is no longer greyed out and "Depth contour" can be ticked.

An improvement to OpenCPN might be to have Display Category available in both menus as it's relevant to both.
