GPSMAP 400/500 Series Owner's Manual Using Charts Using the Split Navigation Chart Use the Split Navigation chart to view two different zoom levels of the Navigation chart at the same time. The top half of the screen is zoomed in 10 times closer than the bottom half of the screen. The Range (-/+) keys control the zoom level. Press MENU to view additional settings (page 9). Using Perspective 3D Perspective 3D provides a view 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 is beneficial when trying to identify entry routes and exit routes in unfamiliar harbors or anchorages. 13
