Sharpen screen image

Former Member
Former Member over 5 years ago

I am using Windows 10 and a 27 inch monitor.

I have the 'display settings' set to (scaled) to 125% to enlarge text, apps etc as my eyesight is not as good as it used to be.

The text displayed on maps in Basecamp is NOT sharp (it is sharp if I reset display settings to 100%) which makes looking at it difficult. I have other apps which don't have this problem.

Is there anything I can do to increase the size of text on the maps without loosing sharpness?

Thanks

    Have you tried changing the map font size? The default is 8.

    Go to Edit > Options > Display > Scroll down to "Map Font" > click Select. You'll see the window below. Choose a size bigger than 8.

    Thanks for your very fast reply which I appreciate.

    I changed the font size and it improved it. I also changed the rendering quality to high and it now looks better but not as good as when 'display settings' is set to 100%. Oh well it is better.

    Is there a secret to enable copying GMAP files from one PC to another and not get the error that they need unlocking or should I start another thread? There is no error on the original PC only my new one.

    Purchase, place next to PC and wear a pair of appropriate reading glasses when doing computer work.  Been doing that for 15 years.

    Purchase what?

    I do have reading glasses and been wearing them for years latest pair just a few months old.

    I don't seem to notice this lack of sharpness on my old PC which has a 24 inch monitor and runs Windows 7 so maybe there is a setting within Windows which can affect sharpness of image on the monitor?
