Using Mariner’s Eye 3D

A BlueChart g2 Vision SD card offers Mariner’s Eye 3D that

provides 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 is beneficial when trying to identify entry

routes and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or anchorages.
