About the Weather Overlay
The Weather Overlay superimposes weather and weather-related information on the Navigation chart, the
Fishing chart, and the Perspective 3D chart. The Navigation chart and the Fishing chart can show WX radar,

show WX radar.
Weather Overlay settings configured for use on one chart are not applied to another chart. The Weather
Overlay settings for each chart must be configured separately.
