Appearance

A dark screen is easier on the eyes in a cabin before dawn, and less blinding on a winter crossing.

Text size

For reading without glasses. Everything grows together — buttons and cards as well as words — so nothing ends up cramped.

StandardThe normal size.LargeAbout a sixth bigger. Usually enough to read without glasses.LargestAs large as this app goes while everything still fits.

This is on top of whatever text size your phone or browser is already set to, so it will not undo a setting you have made there.

Location

VesselWatch Scotland asks for your location only when you tap a button that needs it — to work out the drive to a pier, or to find your nearest port. It is never tracked in the background.

Turn it on or off on any crossing page, under Drive to port.
