GPS Satellite Signals

satellite data and establish the current location. When the

chartplotter acquires satellite signals, appears at the top of

the Home screen. When the chartplotter loses satellite signals,

disappears and a flashing question mark appears over on

the chart.

Navigation Chart: Shows navigation data available on your pre-

loaded maps and from supplemental maps, if available. The

data includes 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. This view is helpful when navigating tricky

shoals, reefs, bridges, or channels, and is beneficial when

trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or

anchorages.

Mariner’s Eye 3D: Shows 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 when trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar

harbors or anchorages.

NOTE: Mariner's Eye 3D and Fish Eye 3D chart views are

available with premium charts, in some areas.

Fish Eye 3D: Provides an underwater view that visually

represents the sea floor according to the chart information.

When a sonar transducer is connected, suspended targets

(such as fish) are indicated by red, green, and yellow

spheres. Red indicates the largest targets and green

indicates the smallest.

Fishing Chart: Provides a detailed view of the bottom contours

and depth soundings on the chart. This chart removes

navigational data from the chart, provides detailed

bathymetric data, and enhances bottom contours for depth

recognition. This chart is best for offshore deep-sea fishing.
