Bird's Eye View/Bird's Eye Big Digits View
Bird's Eye View shows a 3D perspective view of the track and the chart's land contour from a
point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye point moves to follow
the boat.
• To shift the eye point position so that you can look off to the sides or even behind the
boat: press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to turn the eye point right or left. Press the UP
Cursor key to move the eye point forward, and press the DOWN Cursor key to move the
eye point backward.
• Press the EXIT key to move the eye point back to its original position behind and above
the boat.
HELIX GPS: If you have the HELIX GPS, this view is called the Bird's Eye Big Digits View, and it
provides multiple digital readouts on the view. Navigation digital readout windows are always
displayed on-screen, even when the control head is not navigating.
