Integrating Satellite Imagery with Chart Data


 

Land areas (zero depth) are completely opaque, displayed as satellite photos on the chart. As the depth increases, the satellite image is merged with the chart data to provide you with added detail on seabed areas in shallow water, without losing vital chart information. In deeper water, where the satellite photos have no detail to offer, the chart is displayed without alteration.

On land, photographs are opaque to clearly showcase structures, ports, landmarks, coastlines, and rocks.

In contrast, at sea, as the depth increases, the photographs gradually become transparent, leaving only the charts visible.
