Scaling Charts

  These buttons will allow you to change the scale of chart you are using, unless only CM93 charts are loaded, in which case these buttons has no effect, and are grayed out. If just a yellow bar is visible in the Chart Selection Bar, above the Status Bar, then CM93 is the only available chart for the area.

 Will scale up/in to the next chart of greater detail but less area, if available, within the current view

Hint: Scaling down and up corresponds to available charts left and right on the Status Bar.
