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.

Press the Range (+) key to move the view closer to your boat and lower to

the water. Press the Range (-) key to move the view away from the boat.

The scale (

) temporarily appears at the bottom of the screen.

To view details about navaids such as beacons, lights, and

obstructions:

1. Use the Rocker to point to the navaid. When the cursor is over the navaid,

the navaid is highlighted.

2. Press SELECT to view details about the navaid.
