Navigation Chart—displays navigation data available on your preloaded maps, including buoys,
lights, cables, depth soundings, marinas, and tide stations in an overhead view.
Perspective 3D—displays a view from above and behind your boat for a visual navigation aid.

Blue Chart g2 Vision preprogrammed SD cards. See page 16.
Mariner’s Eye 3D—displays a detailed, three-dimensional view from above and behind the boat
for a visual navigation aid.
Fishing Chart—removes navigational data from the chart and enhances bottom contours for

chart’s information.
The chartplotter selectively displays navigation data after you select the type of navigation you want.
