Legacy Exploration Visibility definintion needed

[Pyelot 51]

@Nikki Severin    I'm about to wipe character and exploration data.

 

I just need you to define "Legacy Exploration Visibility" and the tick box.  (as seen in the settings)  I tried a google & forum  search and can't find anything about it.

New players would not know what this is about also. (There are no tooltips to explain it)

I always thought it was hiding distant islands being visible from the island I am on.

Is his still the case?  if so will this be reduntant in 1.9 (larger space between islands as written in a dev blog)

Hey! So this option hides the "Legacy Exploration" game mode from your menu  

It doesn't have anything to do with visibility of distant ylands
