5.3 What can I use the 3D Chart Application for?
3D cartography introduces an easy-to-use chart format that provides you with a
three dimensional graphical view of land and sea contours around your boat. Land
masses are shown in green, the shade depending on the height above sea level.
Water, the sea-bed and submerged objects are shown in varying shades of blue.
Much of the information available on a conventional chart can be shown in three
dimensions, giving you an accurate easy-to-view image of the area around your
boat that can help you plan:
• Fishing spots.
• What fishing pattern to use.
•Safe routes.
If the area that you are in is new to you, or visibility is poor, 3D cartography can help
to give you the confidence to know where you are and what is around you. As with
a conventional chart, active waypoints and routes can also be shown on the 3D
chart.
