From the main Settings menu you can open the "My Boat" page, where you can set your avatar, captain name, boat's name, characteristics (type, average speed, draft, ...) and boating lifestyles. Some of this information will be used to calculate and personalize some of the Aqua Map features (eg Map display, Route Explorer, ...).
NOTE: most of the info present in this page will be shared with the other Aqua Map users, if you enable the Live Sharing functionality.

NOTE:The information in this page will be automatically synched between your devices connected with the same GEC Account.

GEC Account settings

The first group of information is related to your GEC Account.

Image: you can add your Account image by tapping on "Select an image" button. This image will be used as your avatar in the Live Sharing community.
Nickname: on the "Captain Name" field you can enter your preferred Nickname (this can be the same other Aqua Map users have).
Boat name: you can add your boat name here.

Boat display settings

Here you can define how the boat icon (your current GPS position) will be displayed on the map.

Icon: Select the icon used on the map to represent your GPS position.
Icon color: Select the boat icon color.
Icon size: Select the boat icon size.
GPS Direction (COG) line length: Select the length of the lines displayed from your boat position along the direction of movement (Course Over Ground). This line (in contrast to the following one, "Timestick") remains unaffected by zoom level and boat speed, serving to clearly indicate your heading on the map.
Timestick:This is similar to the COG line (heading in the same direction) but serves a distinct purpose: to provide an anticipation of your boat's future position. For instance, if you choose 5 minutes, the top point of this line will indicate where your boat will be after 5 minutes (assuming it maintains the current course and speed). The timestick line features a prominent mark every 5 minutes and a smaller mark every 1 minute (limited to the first 10 minutes). Setting the value to 0 indicates that the Timestick is not displayed.
Variable Range Marker (VRM): You can add a circle around the boat with a defined range. This is useful for quickly determining if any element on the map is closer than a specified distance. Setting the value to 0 means the VRM circle is not displayed.

Boat parameters

Here you can define the type of boat, as well as your default navigation speed and consumption.

Boat type: Set the type of boat you have. "Other" is intended for boats or other types of vehicles that do not fit the standard power or sail boat categories.
Fuel type: This information is used by the Route Explorer when searching for marinas with fuel. For marinas that specify the type of fuel available, the Route Explorer will consider only those with the corresponding fuel type set here.
Average speed: This information is used to calculate all estimated time-related information for routes. You can set specific average speeds for each route from the respective route settings page. NOTE: This information is used for non-active routes; when you activate a route for navigation, the current GPS speed is utilized.
Fuel consumption: This information is used to calculate the fuel consumption for routes. You can set specific fuel consumption values for each route from the respective route settings page.

Boat size

Here you can define the main boat dimensions.

Draft: Set the maximum depth of the boat from the water level. This information is used to generate an alarm when receiving depth information from a Wi-Fi connection.
Height: Set the maximum height of the boat from the water level. This information is used by the Route Explorer to calculate the clearance under bridges.
NOTE: Even though the Route Explorer incorporates some margins in addition to the value you enter, please remember that there are additional factors (such as tides, waves, wind, etc.) that could affect the actual available height.
Beam: Set the width of the boat. This information is used by the Route Explorer to calculate the clearance under bridges.
Length: Set the total length of the boat. This information is currently not used for any calculation.

Contact info

These are the details used to contact and identify your boat. This information will be shared with the Aqua Map community if you enable the Live Sharing functionality.

AIS MMSI: This is your boat's Maritime Mobile Service Identity number.
Contact number: This is the telephone number to be contacted by other Aqua Map users.
