Using Mariner’s Eye 3D

A BlueChart g2 Vision SD card offers Mariner’s Eye 3D, which 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 beneficial when trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or anchorages.
