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 g2 Vision
data card, a BlueChart g2 data card, or if your built-in map supports Fishing
charts.
