the destination. The path may run over land and other
obstacles.
Route To
: Creates a route from your location to a destination,
allowing you to add turns along the way. This option provides
a straight line course to the destination, but allows you to add
turns into the route that avoid land and other obstacles.
Auto Guidance
: Creates a path to a destination using Auto
Guidance. This option is available only when using a
compatible premium chart in a compatible chartplotter. It
provides a turn-by-turn navigation line to the destination,
avoiding land and other obstacles. The navigation line is
based on the chart data and the safe depth, safe height, and
shoreline distance user-defined chartplotter settings. Using
these settings and chart data, the chartplotter creates a
navigation line that avoids all areas that cannot be navigated
between the present location and the destination. When you
are using a compatible Garmin autopilot connected to the
chartplotter using NMEA 2000, the autopilot follows the Auto
Guidance route.
Setting and Following a Direct Course Using Go To
CAUTION
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.
You can set and follow a direct course from your current location
to a selected destination.

A magenta line appears. In the center of the magenta line is
a thinner purple line that represents the corrected course

course is dynamic, and it moves with your boat when you are
off course.

If you are off course, follow the purple line (corrected course)
to go to your destination, or steer back to the magenta line

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.
Before you can navigate to a waypoint, you must create a
waypoint.

NOTE:
When using Auto Guidance, a gray segment within
any part of the magenta line indicates that Auto Guidance
cannot calculate part of the Auto Guidance line. This is due to
the settings for minimum safe water depth and minimum safe
obstacle height.
