3-13. 3D DISPLAY, OVERLAYS3.1 3D DisplayThe 3D display has native 3D chart design that allows full time 3D presentation. This true 3D environment gives you all of the information you require with no restrictions on the information you can see. You can plan your routes, enter points, etc. like on the 2D chart.The 3D display provides a 3D view of land and sea around your ship. The 3D display has most of the same information as the 2D display. With both presentations available you can see the conditions around your ship from different angles. The 3D display helps you navigate when you are in waters that you do not know. Also, most functions of the 2D display, for example, destination setting, are available in the 3D display.For best results make sure you have accurate position and heading data.3D displayBoat icon (your ship)Point

3. 3D DISPLAY, OVERLAYS3-23.1.1 How to activate the 3D display1. To switch between the 2D and 3D displays, tap the 2D/3D switch at the bottom left corner on the screen or drag upward as shown below. The icon is filled in white when the 3D display is active.2. Tap the orientation mode switch to select an orientation mode.3. Orientate the 3D display by dragging leftward or rightward with two fingers.The 2D/3D display switch, orientation mode switchThe 2D/3D display switch and the orientation mode switch indicate 2D/3D display sta-tus and orientation mode.
