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.
As you navigate, the color of the route might change to
indicate when you should take caution.
Magenta
: Default route/course line.
Thin purple
: Dynamically corrected course, indicating you
are off course.
Orange
: Caution! This segment of the route may be
near the thresholds of the Auto Guidance depth and
height settings. For example, the route segment is
orange when the route crosses under a bridge or is
in potentially shallow waters. Garmin Na
™
and
Garmin Navionics charts only.
Red striped
: Warning! This segment of the route might be
unsafe, based on the Auto Guidance depth and height
settings. For example, the roue segment is red striped
when the route crosses under a very low bridge or is
in shallow waters. This line is red striped in Garmin
Na and Garmin Navionics charts only;
it is magenta and gray striped in previous versions of
the charts.
Gray
: Cannot calculate this segment of the route due to
land or other obstacles, or there is no chart coverage
area in that location.
