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 shal-
low water. Use visual sightings, and steer to
avoid land, shallow water, and other danger-
ous objects.
