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 beneficial 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 (GPSMAP 4000 series) or touch the key (GPSMAP 5000 series) to move the view closer to your boat and lower to the water. Press the RANGE (-)key (GPSMAP 4000 series) or touch the key (GPSMAP 5000 series) to move the view away from the boat.

To view details about navaids such as beacons, lights, and obstructions:

1.Use the ROCKER (GPSMAP 4000 series) or the touchscreen (GPSMAP 5000 series) to point to the navaid. When the cursor is over the navaid, a button is displayed, such as Beacon or Light.

2.Select the button for the navaid to view details.
