Applications

In practical coastal use, a captain can utilize the 7-inch display as a primary command center. By utilizing the BlueChart g2 Vision data, the operator can see a 3D perspective of the harbor entrance, allowing them to identify landmarks and navigation aids with ease.

When navigating through a foggy harbor, the integrated radar support allows the crew to track other vessels and obstacles in real-time, significantly reducing the stress of tight maneuvers. For freshwater anglers, the 3D “Fish Eye” view provides a tactical advantage by rendering bottom contours and underwater structure in a clear, three-dimensional format.
