Using Charts

Your chartplotter has a worldwide map and a built-in detailed map

of US inland lakes, or BlueChart g2 cartography for the USA and

Bahamas shoreline.
Navigation Chart—displays all relevant navigation data

available on your preloaded maps, including buoys, lights,

cables, depth soundings, marinas, and tide stations, in an

overhead view.

Perspective 3d—provides a view from above and behind the

boat (according to your course), and provides a visual navigation

aid.

Split Navigation Chart—displays two different zoom levels of

the Navigation chart at the same time.

Fishing charts, Fish Eye 3D, and Mariner’s Eye 3D views are

available when using optional BlueChart g2 Vision preprogrammed

SD cards.
fishing Chart—provides a view of the chart with enhanced

bottom contours and without navigational data. This chart works

well for offshore deep-sea fishing.

fish Eye 3d—provides an underwater 3D view that visually

represents the sea floor according to the information on the chart.

Mariner’s Eye 3d—provides a view from above and behind

the boat as a three-dimensional navigation aid. The BlueChart

g2 Vision Mariner’s Eye 3D is more detailed than the preloaded

data.
