Charts and 3D Chart Views

All GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotters have a basic worldwide imagery map. The GPSMAP 6208, 6212, 7212, and 7215 chartplotters have built-in detailed BlueChart g2 offshore cartography for US waters. The charts and 3D chart views listed below are available on the chartplotter.

Note: The Fishing chart, Mariner’s Eye 3D, and Fish Eye 3D are available with a preprogrammed BlueChart g2 Vision data card (page 21).

•Navigation Chart—shows navigation data available on your pre-loaded maps and from supplemental maps, if available. The data includes buoys, lights, cables, depth soundings, marinas, and tide stations in an overhead view (page 6).

•Perspective 3D—shows a view from above and behind your boat for a visual navigation aid (page 19).

•Mariner’s Eye 3D—shows a detailed, three‑dimensional view from above and behind the boat for a visual navigation aid (page 22).

•Fishing Chart—removes navigational data from the chart and enhances bottom contours for depth recognition (page 24).

•Fish Eye 3D—provides an underwater view that visually represents the sea floor according to the chart’s information (page 24).
