About the Weather Overlay
The weather overlay superimposes weather and weather-related information on the Navigation chart, the Fishing
chart, and the Perspective 3D chart view. The Navigation chart and the Fishing chart can show WX radar, height
of cloud tops (XM weather), infrared satellite data for clouds (cellular weather), lightning, WX buoys, county
warnings, and hurricane warnings. The Perspective 3D chart view can show WX radar.
Weather overlay settings configured for use on one chart are not applied to another chart. The weather overlay
settings for each chart must be configured separately.
Note: The Fishing chart is available if you use a BlueChart
your built-in map supports Fishing charts.
