Bird’s Eye Big Digits View

Bird's Eye Big Digits View provides digital data on the Bird's Eye View in a large, easy-to-see format. All Bird's Eye views show a 3D perspective view of the track and the chart 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. When you press the 4-WAY Cursor key in any of the Bird’s Eye Views, the position of the eye point will shift. This allows you to move and turn the eye point so that you can look off to the sides, or even behind the boat. Pressing the RIGHT or LEFT arrow keys on the 4-WAY Cursor key turns the eye point right or left, while pressing the UP arrow key moves the eye point forward, and pressing the DOWN arrow key moves the eye point backward.
