Charts and 3D Chart Views

The charts and 3D chart views that are available depend on the 

map data and accessories used.
You can access the charts and 3D chart views by selecting 

Charts.

Navigation Chart

: Shows navigation data available on your pre-

loaded maps and from supplemental maps, if available. The 

data includes buoys, lights, cables, depth soundings, 

marinas, and tide stations in an overhead view.

Perspective 3D

: Provides a view from above and behind the 

boat (according to your course) and provides a visual 

navigation aid. This view is helpful when navigating tricky 

shoals, reefs, bridges, or channels, and is beneficial when 

trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or 

anchorages.

Mariner’s Eye 3D

: Shows a detailed, three-dimensional view 

from above and behind the boat (according to your course) 

and provides a visual navigation aid. This view is helpful
