Sharpen screen image

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

John

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?
