Using Mariner’s Eye 3D
A BlueChart g2 Vision SD card offers Mariner’s Eye 3D, that
provides 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 is benecial when trying to identify entry
and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or anchorages.
