Using Mariner’s Eye 3D
A BlueChart g2 Vision SD card offers Mariner’s Eye 3D, which provides 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 is
benecial when trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or anchorages.
