The chart cards contain nautical charts. When you insert a suitable

with the land portion arranged according to the land pattern setting
on the DISPLAY SETUP menu.
When a wrong card is inserted or the wrong chart scale is selected,
the land will be hollow. Insert the proper card and select a suitable
chart scale. Chart icons appear to help you select suitable chart
scale. Table 2-1 explains the chart icons and their meanings.
