Bird's Eye Big Digits View
Bird's Eye Big Digits View provides digital data on the Bird's Eye View in a
large, easy-to-see format. All Bird's Eye views show a 3D perspective view of
the track and the chart 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 any of the Bird's Eye Views, 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.
