of US inland lakes, or BlueChart g2 cartography for either the USA

available on your preloaded maps, including buoys, lights,
cables, depth soundings, marinas, and tide stations, in an
overhead view.

boat (according to your course), and provides a visual navigation
aid.

the Navigation chart at the same time.

the boat as a three-dimensional navigation aid. The BlueChart
g2 Vision Mariner’s Eye 3D is more detailed than the preloaded
data.

(including “s” models), you must insert an optional BlueChart g2
Vision preprogrammed SD card to view detailed Navigation and
Mariner’s Eye charts.
