Default Clutter

I agree with Rich's comment about "recommended course" lines need to be better distinguished from bottom Contour lines. For my money, I'd love to see a layered approach so I could add or subtract features I want/don't want to see. The asterisks for rocks and the notation about rocky area, etc would be nice to add or subtract along with the bottom contour lines. ASfter planning, I don't need to have bridge clearance info printed out. The (excessive) detail is nice when I'm planning on a stable surface, but the clutter makes the chart or screen difficult to read when the boat is moving up/down/sideways. I guess, if I had a multi-function display, I could switch from chart to radar and back?
