Charts and 3D Chart Views
The charts and 3D chart views that are available depend on the map data and accessories used.
NOTE: 3D chart views are available with premium charts, in some areas.
You can access the charts and 3D chart views by selecting Charts.
Nav. 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.
Fishing Chart: Provides a detailed view of the bottom contours and depth soundings on the chart. This chart
removes navigational data from the chart, provides detailed bathymetric data, and enhances bottom
contours for depth recognition. This chart is best for offshore deep-sea fishing.
NOTE: The Fishing chart is available with premium charts, in some areas.
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.
3D Chart: 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 when navigating tricky shoals, reefs, bridges, or
channels, and when trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or anchorages.
Fish Eye 3D: Provides an underwater view that visually represents the sea floor according to the chart
information. When a sonar transducer is connected, suspended targets (such as fish) are indicated by red,
green, and yellow spheres. Red indicates the largest targets and green indicates the smallest.
Relief Shading: Provides high resolution elevation shading of lakes and coastal waters. This chart can be
helpful for fishing and diving.
NOTE: The Relief Shading chart is available with premium charts, in some areas.
