3D Display, Overlays

3.1 3D Display
The 3D display has native 3D chart design that allows full time 3D presentation. This
true 3D environment gives you all of the information you require with no restrictions on
the information you can see. You can plan your routes, enter points, etc. like on the
2D chart.
The 3D display provides a 3D view of land and sea around your vessel. Land is shown
in different shades of light-brown according to height above the sea level. Water is
shown in different shades of blue according to depth. The 3D display has most of the
same information as the 2D display. WIth both presentations available you can see
the conditions around your vessel from different angles. The 3D display helps you nav-
igate when you are in waters that you do not know. Also, most functions of the 2D dis-
play, for example, destination setting, are available in the 3D display.
For best results make sure you have accurate position and heading data.

Aerial View

The aerial view is the view you get when you activate the 3D display. Your position is
above and behind your vessel, and your view is in the forward direction. The illustra-
tion shown below provides an example of how you can change the orientation of the
aerial view display. This illustration shows the view from port side of the vessel.
