Using Charts
Your chartplotter has a worldwide basemap or BlueChart g2 cartography for
either the USA shoreline or a specific country.
•
Navigation Chart
—displays all relevant navigation data available on your
preloaded maps, including 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.
•
Split Navigation Chart
—displays two different zoom levels of the
Navigation chart at the same time.
•
fishing Chart
—provides a view of the chart with enhanced bottom
contours and without navigational data. This chart works well for offshore
deep-sea fishing.
•
fish Eye 3d
—provides an underwater 3D view that visually represents the
sea floor according to the information on the chart.
•
Mariner’s Eye 3d
—provides a view from above and behind the boat as a
three-dimensional navigation aid. The BlueChart g2 Vision Mariner’s Eye
3D is more detailed than the preloaded data.
Mariner’s Eye 3D charts and Fish Eye 3D charts are available only if you
use a BlueChart g2 Vision SD card.
