Outlined

Depths

When selected, depths values are shown at a high zoom level. This might be useful but can be disturb the map with too much information.
Unselect this option to prevent depth drawing.

Dots

12. Dots

13. Used for Altitude
When this option is set (default), the Terrain will use this layer to get the altitude at a given position: function getAlt(WCoord);
If disabled, the altitude will be taken from another layer (if any) or return the global Z/Alt value set in Terrain Settings window.
