Viewing Current Station Information
If current stations are available in your g2 Vision
region, they appear on the navigation chart as a
highlighted arrow. This detailed icon shows the
current’s speed and direction at a glance.
Detailed Road and POI Data
BlueChart g2 Vision contains detailed road and POI data, which
includes highly detailed coastal roads and points of interest (POIs)
such as restaurants, lodging, local attractions and more. For
instructions on searching for and navigating to these POIs, see the
“Where To?” section beginning on page 19.
Using Automatic Guidance
Automatic Guidance automatically creates and suggests passage
based on available BlueChart g2 Vision chart information. See
page 32 for instructions on setting up Automatic Guidance for your
boat. The “Where To?” section on page 19 has more information on
how to use Automatic Guidance.
