Mariner's Eye 3D: Shows a detailed, three-dimensional view
from above and behind the boat (according to your course)
and provides a visual navigation aid. This view is helpful
when navigating tricky shoals, reefs, bridges, or channels,
and when trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar
harbors or anchorages.
Fish Eye 3D: Provides an underwater view that visually
represents the sea floor according to the chart information.
When a sonar transducer is connected, suspended targets
(such as fish) are indicated by red, green, and yellow
spheres. Red indicates the largest targets and green

Navigating to a Point on the Chart
WARNING
All route and navigation lines displayed on the chartplotter are
only intended to provide general route guidance or to identify
proper channels, and are not intended to be precisely followed.
Always defer to the navaids and conditions on the water when
navigating to avoid groundings or hazards that could result in
vessel damage, personal injury, or death.
The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart
information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom
clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings,
and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may
be in your path.
When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may
pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer
to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.
NOTE: The Fishing chart is available with premium charts, in
some areas.

obstacle height.

Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow
water, and other obstacles.
