Courses
CAUTION
The Auto Guidance feature is based on electronic chart
information. That data does not ensure obstacle and bottom
clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings,
and avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may
be in your path.
When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may
pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer
to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some
areas.
You can set and follow a course to a destination using one of
three methods: Go To, Route To, or Guide To.
Go To : Takes you directly to the destination.
Route To : Creates a route from your location to a destination,
allowing you to add turns along the way.
Guide To : Create a path to a destination using Auto Guidance.
