Understanding Chart Data
BlueChart g2 and BlueChart g2 Vision charts use graphic symbols
to denote map features that follow the standards for USA and
international charts.
Other features common to most charts include depth contour
lines (with deep water represented in white), intertidal zones, spot
soundings (as depicted on the original paper chart), navigational aids
and symbols, and obstructions and cable areas.
