Data Bars

Data bars can appear on specific charts and 3D chart views, and they provide real-time, at-a-glance information. A data bar configured to appear on one chart or one 3D chart view does not appear on another chart or on another 3D chart view. The data bars for each chart or each 3D chart view must be configured separately.

The cruising, navigation, fishing, fuel, sailing, and compass tape data bars are available on all charts and 3D chart views.
