Seeing
is Believing!
Contour 3D Charts let you see the structure of the ocean
floor in 3D. At home, use it to view your favorite site or
find new ones. On the water, Contour 3D will enhance your
time spent fishing, diving or navigating.
Thousands of private and public sources have contributed
sounding data to the Contour 3D database. You benefit by
seeing incredibly detailed 3D charts with shipwreck and
obstacle locations.
Maptech strongly encourages using Contour 3D charts with
Offshore Navigator
and
Digital Charts
to
get the most out of your experience. Marine Navigator
is
Maptech's new "all-in-one" product that combines
all three components (Contour 3D, Digital Charts and
Offshore Navigator) into a single package that saves you
almost $200.

depth displays on a vertical scale.
The transducer cone display can be set to the same
beam angle as your depth sounder. When you put a PC
with Contour next to a fish finder, the fish don't
have a chance.
Note: A sounder is not required to run Contour 3D.
