Overprint effect

Overprint effect means that when printing, the overprint does not "knock out" the map under the circles and lines.  Instead the line color blends with the underlying map details, so that you can see otherwise hidden map details. 

Please note that PostScript printers do not support overprinting effect.

String course, no leg lines
In the terrain, the course follows linear features and is marked with streamers.  Controls are placed on the marked route.  On the map, the course is drawn as an  orange line indicating the marked route from start to finish.  Controls are marked with circles as usual.  The length of the course is calculated along the marked line.
String course, leg lines
In the terrain, the course follows linear features and is marked with streamers. Controls are not necessarily placed on the line, but on adjacent features. The leg lines between controls are shown, and the length is calculated along the leg lines similarly as a "normal course".
