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 

indicates the smallest.

Fishing Chart: Provides a detailed view of the bottom contours 

and depth soundings on the chart. This chart removes 

navigational data from the chart, provides detailed 

bathymetric data, and enhances bottom contours for depth 

recognition. This chart is best for offshore deep-sea fishing.
NOTE: The offshore Fishing chart is available with premium 

charts, in some areas.

Radar Overlay: Superimposes radar information on the 

Navigation chart or the Fishing chart, when the chartplotter is
