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.
