Active action mode
Provided that your system has a valid fix, this is the default mode when you first open the 3D chart application. The screen shows an aerial view of the 3D chart as if you are above your boat, slightly behind it and looking forward (eye point). As the boat moves forward the chart automatically updates and reveals the changing view ahead. In active motion mode you can adjust the pitch of the view, but rotating or panning the chart will change into planning mode.
Changing the view
There are four view options to choose from: forward, aft, port and starboard.

Making the view clearer
If required, the 3D chart view can be made clearer using the following features: · · Exaggeration. Declutter.
Press CANCEL at any time to return to the previous exaggeration setting.
Declutter
In some circumstances, the quantity of information displayed on the chart can render its interpretation difficult. The declutter feature removes some chart objects from view to make the chart clearer to read and navigation simpler.
Exaggeration
Sometimes it is easier to see certain topographical features if they are exaggerated. Adjusting the exaggeration has the effect of vertically stretching objects on the chart, making it easier to see their shape and position.
Declutter OFF
Declutter ON
To turn declutter on or off
1. Toggle to ON or OFF using the DECLUTTER softkey.

5. 3 Using the standard and 3D charts together
If the area in which you are navigating is unfamiliar, or visibility is poor, working with standard and 3D chart windows side-by-side can give you extra confidence and information. With the charts displayed side by side, a comprehensive view of the surrounding area is available.
3D view locator
The view locator is a polygon displayed on the standard chart which outlines the boundaries of the area shown on the 3D chart. It is shown as a blue line extending from the virtual eye point icon.

Chart synchronization
Chart synchronization enables you to synchronize heading, range and position information on the 2D and 3D charts. When chart synchronization is ON: · · 2D/3D synchronization is flagged in the status bars. Pressing FIND SHIP from any synchronized application returns the 3D chart to the default view and synchronizes the 2D chart to the same view. Changes made to heading, range or position in either 2D or 3D charts are reflected in both windows. If the 2D chart view for the current window is set to SYSTEM, any changes made in a chart window will be reflected in all windows on all displays. If the 2D chart view for the current window is set to LOCAL, no other windows will be affected.
To synchronize the standard chart with the 3D chart 1. Press OK.
