NOTE: BlueChart g2 Vision data cannot be transferred from the SD card to your computer for
backup or viewing purposes. You can use the SD card only on BlueChart g2 Vision compatible
Garmin GPS units.
Using Mariner’s Eye 3D
A BlueChart g2 Vision SD card offers Mariner’s Eye 3D, which provides a detailed,
three-dimensional angled perspective 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 when trying to identify entry and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or anchorages.
