The way the system was designed, it shouldn't be possible to turn off shaded when photo is on.  I don't believe this was controlled before the latest update and before that, the option was just broken.

The Topo Rasters are always just pooled with Shaded Relief Rasters for the unit.

The RNC Rasters are pooled with Shaded Relief Rasters for most maps because of a history of how a few maps were created.  The best fix at the time was to create a positive exception on newly generated maps when we desired behavior other than using the RNC Rasters as a base layer.

Despite the "Raster" option being available when used with At5 Major Version 14+ RNC Rasters, it doesn't control anything unless the RNC Rasters are set with a "DVOR=true" option in the description string (like the Manufacturer and Description is done).  The "Raster" option being available when it doesn't control anything and the At5 Major Version 14+ restriction will be eventually fixed for units still receiving updates.  Until this fixed, do not use At5 Version 12/13 RNC Rasters with the "DVOR=true" option set...they will be controlled by that Raster button but the Raster button will not be available.

Note: Major Version 14 isn't available on V0.7.4.0.  It will be available on the next public release.

Thanks!
So as for now the best choice is:
Shaded relief - main background
Satellite imagery - something optional, to turn on from time to time
Vector - Nautical Chart
Is it correct?

This actually makes sense to me, and it sounds like a great feature! I'm looking forward to your future releases. Thanks, Gregory!

Would anyone mind explaining in "layman's terms" how I can use Vector maps thru IMC? It's ok to tell me no, and I'll continue trying to look things up as I go along. Try to grasp what I can.

This thread has now surpassed my knowledge and experience with maps, which is extremely little. I wish I can grasp what's going on!  :weisnicht1:  :smiley:

You can also select multiple sources in some cases like Shaded Relief + Photo as the chart plotter UI will allow.

What if ... The Shade Relief map was all black. Would this increase visibility of the Photo Overlay (Satellite) map? Especially one that has bright coloring.

Blending is usually done through the RGB color space.  I guess you could use it to darken but it would change the perception of the color.
