marinas, and tide stations in an overhead view.
Mariner’s Eye 3D—displays a view from above and behind your boat for a visual navigation
aid.
Fish Eye 3D—an underwater view that visually represents the sea floor according to the
information on the chart.
Fishing Chart—removes navigational data from the chart and enhances bottom contours for
depth recognition.
The unit automatically shows relevant navigational data when you select a navigation option.
