Navigating to a Point on the Chart
WARNING
All route and navigation lines displayed on the chartplotter are
only intended to provide general route guidance or to identify
proper channels, and are not intended to be precisely followed.
Always defer to the navaids and conditions on the water when
navigating to avoid groundings or hazards that could result in
vessel damage, personal injury, or death.
The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart
information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom
clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings,
and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may
be in your path.
When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may
pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer
to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.
NOTE:
The Fishing chart is available with premium charts, in
some areas.

obstacle height.

g3 Vision, allow
you to get the most out of your chartplotter. In addition to
detailed marine charting, premium charts may contain these
features, which are available in some areas.
Mariner’s Eye 3D
: Provides a view from above and behind the
boat for a three-dimensional navigation aid.
Fish Eye 3D
: Provides an underwater, three-dimensional view
that visually represents the sea floor according to the
information on the chart.
Fishing Charts
: Shows the chart with enhanced bottom
contours and without navigational data. This chart works well
for offshore deep-sea fishing.
High Resolution Satellite Imagery
: Provides high-resolution
satellite images for a realistic view of the land and water on
the Navigation chart (

Detailed Roads and POI data
: Shows detailed road and point
of interest (POI) data, which includes highly detailed coastal
roads and POIs such as restaurants, lodging, and local
attractions.
Auto Guidance

Fish Eye 3D Chart View
Using the depth contour lines of the premium charts, such as
BlueChart g3 Vision, the Fish Eye 3D chart view provides an
underwater view of the sea floor or lake bottom.
Suspended targets, such as fish, are indicated by red, green,
and yellow spheres. Red indicates the largest targets and green
indicates the smallest.
Viewing Tide Station Information
WARNING
Tide and current information is for information purposes only. It
is your responsibility to heed all posted water-related guidance,
to remain aware of your surroundings, and to use safe judgment
in, on, and around the water at all times. Failure to heed this
warning could result in property damage, serious personal
