B&G SailSteer overlay not displayed on map

[Tormato]

Hi,
this is my first post to this forum, I just enrolled. I did it because many of my searches ended up in threads on this forum.
I am a 60 year old guy from Germany, my Beneteau Oceanis "Luna" has to run in charter for 3 more years before I can call her my own. I am already spending as much time as I can on her, currently in the Kornati NP in Croatia.

She is equipped with B&G Zeus3 7" plotters.
Over time, I am learning to use all these functions, and SailSteer is one of the most helpful displays.
The manual is talking about a SailSteer overlay that can be displayed with the map.
I enabled it but nothing happens.
Are there any preconditions to be fulfilled before the overlay will be displayed?
(all updates are installed)

Thanks a lot and kind regards,

Jörg

You are giving little information. But it seems that your Zeus is not receiving wind and/or speed over water (STW) information.

Thanks for your reply!
When we were sailing yesterday, all the information about wind and speeds was there, this shouldn't be an issue.
The SailSteer screen itself is fully functional.
So I wanted to see the SailSteer overlay on the map as well but this does not seem to work so far.
There's some information in the manual regarding required view settings, which I followed already.
I activated "SailSteer overlay" in the chart settings menu, but the overlay is not being displayed on my map.

Thanks a lot and kind regards, Jörg

Kind regards, Jörg

Well, solved.
Synchronize 2D/3D chart must not be activated, since the overlay cannot be displayed on the 3D chart.

cheers, Tormato
