Easily Interpret Bottom Structure
- Relief shading delivers highly detailed shading that combines colour and shadow to provide an easy-to-interpret, clearer view of bottom structure than contour lines alone.
*Relief Shading data needs to be downloaded via the Navionics Chart Installer programme.
Identify Topography Quickly
- For coastal and inland boat owners who need to know as much as possible about sea and lakes beds, relief shading offers a better understanding of bottom detail for improved fishing and diving.
