Active Motion mode
This is the default mode when you open the 3D chart application, provided that there is a valid fix. The screen shows an aerial view of the 3D chart as if you are above your boat, slightly behind it and looking forward (virtual eye point). You can also view the chart from different positions relative to your boat. As your boat moves forward the chart automatically updates and reveals the changing view ahead.
Note: In Active Motion mode, you can adjust the pitch when the ADJUST ON softkey is set to CENTER, but rotating or panning the chart will put it into Planning mode (see below).
Planning mode
Planning mode enables you to view an area of the chart, different to the one in which you are navigating, so that you can analyze locations and features. You can use the controls to view a particular area from different angles, bearings and ranges. The chart no longer automatically keeps your boat
