Using Charts
Using Perspective 3D
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 benecial when trying to identify entry routes and
exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or anchorages.
To access the Perspective 3D screen from the Home screen,
select Charts > Perspective 3D.
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.
To view details about navaids such as beacons, lights, and
obstructions:

2. Press SELECT to view details about the navaid.
