Heading up
Displays the chart with the vessel’s heading directly up on the chart image. Heading information is received from a compass. If heading is not available, then the COG from the GPS will be used.
Course up
Rotates the chart in the direction of the next point when in navigation mode. If the unit is not in navigation mode the heading up orientation will be used until you start navigating
Look ahead
This option centers the chart slightly forward of your vessel so you can maximize your view ahead.
View 2D, 3D
You can toggle the view on the chart between 2D and 3D by tapping the View button.
3D chart view options
There are two 3D views available:
•Rotate - default mode keeping the boat in center on the chart panel
•Pan - allows you to move the 3D chart view away from the vessel
You toggle between these two modes by pressing Camera on the menu or by tapping the pan and rotate icons at the top of the screen.
Rotate mode
In this mode the camera follows the vessel. The vessel’s position will be in center if Look Ahead is not selected.
The camera angle is by default as seen from your eye position, look- ing toward the vessel. The vessel’s rotation on the chart is defined by the chart orientation settings.
