A method and apparatus using a camera and image display for improving navigation of watercraft is presented. The system may be used by a helmsman to view regions outside his unaided sight range. Objects ahead of and behind the watercraft, both above and beneath the surface, may be detected and navigation decisions are made thereby. The same method and apparatus may be used to improve the view in backing a trailer. In any case, the images may be recorded for later viewing.
