Hello,

I cannot get water to be shown as white background on my elite 7 hdi, I got it working in a previous version, I think it was because "Show excluded area as land" was ticked.

But I can´t remember if that was in RM or IMC, I cant find the setting in RM.

Attached SS shows my problem, shoreline in kml, islands in kmz, I also tried shoreline in kmz, but same result, everything is brown =(

Any advice ?

Henrik,

Looks like you are exporting directly from a project, and that you are in raster mode?
What you want might be slightly awkward to achieve as you want a polygon (shoreline) to show behind the raster area (depth colours). I think it might be possible in the IMC, but not in the way that we do this export. I'll have a think about how it can be done, but in the mean time you are probably better off generating your map in vector mode, which should give you the result you want - albeit you will be restricted to AT5 colours for the depth areas.

Hello,

I tried vector instead, now I get water in white (thumbs up)

But, everything below 9 meters is purple, see attached picture.

these are the settings I´m using.

Colour scheme is at5, second from top, blue to red.

Any Advice ?

EDIT: If I use the first AT5 scheme, light blue to dark blue, with less colors in it, then it changes in color from 3m to 6m and so on, maybe elite 7 hdi cannot handle that many colors ?

This is likely a colour compatibility problem on your Elite 7, which I think uses the Indigo system and not NOS. Not all of the available colour palettes will work (the one with white and two blue colours is compatible with all systems).
To make a palette that is Indigo compatible, you can set the global colour compatibility (in global settings) and construct something from the remaining colours.
