Bird’s Eye View

Bird’s Eye View shows a 3D perspective view of the track and the chart’s land contour from a point above and behind the boat (the eye point). As the boat turns, the eye point moves to follow the boat. See Viewing Cartography and Introduction to Navigation for more information.

To shift the eye point position so that you can look off to the sides, or even behind the boat: Press the RIGHT or LEFT Cursor keys to turn the eye point right or left. Press the UP Cursor key to move the eye point forward, and press the DOWN Cursor key to move the eye point backward.

Press the EXIT key to move the eye point back to its original position behind and above the boat.
