How Platinum™Cartography Works
Platinum™Cartography is only available in the 858c, 898c, 955c, 957c, 958c,
967c, 997c, 998c and 1100 Series™models if you have an optional-purchase
Navionics®Platinum™Cartography MMC/SD card installed. Platinum™
Cartography provides:
• a photographic overlay on certain views,
• additional icons for ports and other landmarks,
• pilot books that provide commentary from captains for certain ports,
• panoramic photos of some ports (such as marinas), and
• 3D Platinum™Cartography.
3D Platinum™Cartography displays a 3 dimensional rendered view of both
the water where you are navigating and the ports and land masses in the
area surrounding the boat's position. Land is shown in varying shades of
yellow, with the color changes indicating the relative height above sea level.
Water and submerged objects are shown in varying shades of blue, with the
color changes indicating the relative depth.
NO E: If you cannot see any Platinum™information, the MMC/ D card installed
in your control head may not have any Platinum™data for the area you are
viewing. In this case, zoom out far enough to see the dotted gridlines on the
Bird’s Eye View, which indicate areas where 3D data is available. Then, using the
4-WAY Cursor Control key, move into the center of the dotted gridlines, and press
the Zoom + key to zoom in again. ee Bird’s Eye View for more information.
NO E: It may take a moment for the Platinum™information to load.
The user interface will change to show the following Platinum™Cartography
features when you install a Navionics®Platinum™Cartography MMC/SD card:
• A new Platinum™main menu tab will appear that contains the Chart
Aerial Overlay, 3D Aerial Overlay, and Platinum 3D menu choices;
• The Chart/Pilot Book View is added to the Views Menu, and to the
views rotation after the Chart View (The Chart/Pilot Book View is
hidden by default);
• The Bird’s Eye View changes to show charts loaded with 3D
representations for a new 3D Bird’s Eye View that has the following
added functionality:
- The zoom level will affect how much space is taken up in the view
and how much white space is shown.
- Platinum™Navaids (navigational aids) are displayed as long as the
Chart Detail Level is set to Navigation or higher.
- An aerial photo overlay is shown on the 3D representation of the
Bird's Eye View.
NO E: You must be zoomed in enough, but not too close, to be able to see the
3D overlay.
• Chart views will display Navionics®Platinum™items, depending on the
Chart Detail level set; when All is selected, all of the Platinum™icons
that are available on a particular part of the map will be displayed.
- When Chart Aerial Overlay is set to Visible on the Platinum™Main
Menu, you'll see a photo on top of your chart, and the Overlay
Transparency X-Press™Menu that allows you to adjust the
transparency via a slider will be added to the Chart views.

• INFO key functionality:
- Port Info has new functionality. The following three selections come
up as a submenu:
Port Information
Pilot Book (see How to Use the Pilot Book for more information)
Panoramic Photo: (see Nearest Port and Chart Information for more
information)
NO E: Each selection is displayed only if it is actually available for the port, and
if only one selection is available, it is displayed without any submenu selection.
NO E: Choosing any of these options cursors to the item of interest.
Multi-Media Card (MMC)/SD Slot
Your Humminbird®Fishing System also has a
multi-media card (MMC)/SD slot that is used
to insert optional-purchase cards containing
additional detailed maps. If you insert an
MMC/SD that contains a more detailed
chart for a particular location, your
Humminbird®Fishing System will retrieve
that chart and display it automatically. Use
the illustration to locate the position of the
MMC/SD slot cover, remove the MMC/SD
slot cover, then insert the MMC/SD into the
slot. The label on the MMC/SD should face toward the left side of the unit.
Press down on the card until it clicks into place and replace the slot cover.
Then, replace and tighten snugly - do NOT overtighten, as this will not
improve water resistance, and may damage the cover.
Software Updates
Use the MMC/SD slot to update the software version of your control head.
To update the software in your control head, plug in the appropriate
MMC/SD card that contains a software update file; the unit will recognize it,
will tell you what software version your control head is currently running,
and will ask you if you want to update the software in the unit to match that
on the MMC/SD card. You can obtain software updates from the
www.humminbird.com website.

Nearest Port and Chart Information
Platinum™Cartography provides additional information when you press the
INFO key on a part of the Bird's Eye or Chart Views that contains Platinum™
information. Whether the cursor is active or inactive will determine exactly
what you see, as well as whether there are pilot books or panoramic photos
available for your specific location.
Pressing the INFO key when the cursor is not active
displays the Chart Info menu, which in turn allows
you to select Nearest Port. Nearest Port has
additional Platinum™Cartography functionality (Port
Information, Pilot Book, and Panoramic Photo) when
that information is available for the port:
• If you select Pilot Book from this submenu, the
Chart View changes to a new view, the Chart/Pilot
Book Combo View. See

View for more information.
• If you select Panoramic Photo, a new window will
be displayed that is similar to the Tide Station Box,
that covers the width of the screen, but not the
readouts. Pressing EXIT removes the panoramic
photo image from the screen and returns you to the
Chart View with the cursor active.
When you press the INFO key when the cursor is active, you will see the
same choices, but without the Nearest Port submenu.
