visual sightings, and avoid any land, shallow water, or
other obstacles that may be in your path.
NOTE:
Not all models support all charts.
Optional premium charts, such as Garmin Navionics
™
, 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 (
Imagery on the Navigation Chart
).
Aerial Photos
: Shows marinas and other navigationally
significant aerial photos to help you visualize your
surroundings (
Viewing Aerial Photos of Landmarks
).
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
: Uses specified information about your
vessel and chart data to determine the best path to
your destination.
Sonar Imagery
: Shows sonar imagery to help show the
density of the bottom.
Relief Shading
: Shows the gradient of the bottom with
shading.
Fish Eye 3D Chart View
Using the depth contour lines of the premium charts, such
as Garmin Navionics , 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.

property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
The
icon on the chart indicates a tide station. You can
view a detailed graph for a tide station to help predict the
tide level at different times or on different days.

This feature is available with premium charts, in
some areas.

Animated Tide and Current Indicators
WARNING
Tide and current information is for information purposes

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

You can view indicators for animated tide station and
current direction on the Navigation chart or the Fishing
chart. You must also enable animated icons in the
chart settings (
Showing Tides and Current Indicators
).
An indicator for a tide station appears on the chart as
a vertical bar graph with an arrow. A red arrow pointing
downward indicates a falling tide, and a blue arrow
pointing upward indicates a rising tide. When you move
the cursor over the tide station indicator, the height of the
tide at the station appears above the station indicator.
Current direction indicators appear as arrows on the chart.
The direction of each arrow indicates the direction of the
current at a specific location on the chart. The color of
the current arrow indicates the range of speed for the
current at that location. When you move the cursor over
the current direction indicator, the specific current speed
at the location appears above the direction indicator.
