Viewing Multiple Maps

Some Chartplotters can show two map displays simultaneously (see your Chartplotter’s Owner’s Manual

for conﬁ guration information). This allows you to view weather data on one map display and non-weather-
related information on the other.

Viewing Features

Consider zooming in to a speciﬁ c area to display
clearer weather data, as shown in the example
above.

Chartplotters such as the 3006C/3010C also feature a “Soft Key” that enables you
to easily hide or display weather. See your Chartplotter’s Owner’s Manual.
