Bird's Eye View

Bird's Eye View - This view shows a 3-D, 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.
When you press the 4-WAY Cursor key in the Bird's Eye View, the position of the eye point
will shift. This allows you to move and turn the eye point so that you can look off to
the sides, or even behind the boat. Pressing the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys on the 4-WAY
Cursor key turns the eye point right or left, while pressing the UP arrow key moves the
eye point forward, and pressing the DOWN arrow key moves the eye point backward.
Pressing the EXIT key moves the eye point back to its original position behind and
above the boat.

Chart View

Chart View - This view shows cartography from the built-in Uni-Map™ or an optional
MMC map for the area surrounding your current position. The current track (also known
as the position history or breadcrumb trail) showing where the boat has been, along
with saved tracks, waypoints, and the current route (when navigating), are overlaid on
the chart. You can use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to shift/pan the chart to another
area. You can use the ZOOM (+/-) keys to zoom in and out. You can use the INFO key to
get information on the chart objects near the cursor.
