System Units

: Sets the unit format for the device.

Variance

: Sets the magnetic declination, the angle between 

magnetic north and true north, for your present location.

North Reference

: Sets the direction references used in 

calculating heading information. True sets geographic north 

as the north reference. Grid sets grid north as the north 

reference (000º). Magnetic sets the magnetic north as the 

north reference.

Position Format

: Sets the position format in which a given 

location reading appears. Do not change this setting unless 

you are using a map or chart that specifies a different 

position format.

Map Datum

: Sets the coordinate system on which the map is 

structured. Do not change this setting unless you are using a 

map or chart that specifies a different map datum.

Time

: Sets the time format, time zone, and daylight saving time.

Route Labels

: Sets the type of labels shown with route turns on 

the map.

Turn Transition

: Adjusts how the chartplotter transitions to the 

next turn or leg or the route. You can set the transition to be 

based on time or distance before the turn. You can increase 

the time or distance value to help improve the accuracy of the 

autopilot when navigating a route or an Auto Guidance line 

with many frequent turns or at higher speeds. For straighter 

routes or slower speeds, lowering this value can improve 

autopilot accuracy.

Auto Guidance

: Sets the measurements for the Safe Depth, 

Safe Height, and Shoreline Distance, when you are using 

some premium maps.

Route Start

: Selects a starting point for route navigation.

Auto Guidance Line Configurations

 CAUTION

The Safe Depth and Safe Height settings influence how the 

chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance line. If an area has an 

unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle height, the Auto 

Guidance line is not calculated in that area. If an area at the 

beginning or the end of an Auto Guidance line is shallower than 

the safe water depth or lower than the safe obstacle height, the 

Auto Guidance line is not calculated in that area. On the chart, 

the course through those areas appears as a gray line. When 

your boat enters one of those areas, a warning message 

appears.

NOTE: 

Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some 

areas.
You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when 

calculating an Auto Guidance line.

Safe Depth

: Sets the minimum depth (chart depth datum) the 

chartplotter uses when calculating an Auto Guidance line.

NOTE: 

The minimum safe depth for the premium charts is 3 

feet. If you enter a Safe Depth value of less than 3 feet, the 

charts only use depths of 3 feet for Auto Guidance route 

calculations.

Safe Height

: Sets the minimum height (chart height datum) of a 

bridge that your boat can safely travel under.

Shoreline Distance

: Sets how close to the shore you want the 

Auto Guidance line to be placed. The Auto Guidance line 

may move if you change this setting while navigating. The 

available values for this setting are relative, not absolute. To 

ensure that the Auto Guidance line is placed the appropriate 

distance from shore, you can assess the placement of the 

Auto Guidance line using one or more familiar destinations 

that require navigation through a narrow waterway

 

(Adjusting the Distance from Shore).

Adjusting the Distance from Shore

The Shoreline Distance setting indicates how close to the shore 

you want the Auto Guidance line to be placed. The Auto 

Guidance line may move if you change this setting while 

navigating. The available values for the Shoreline Distance 

setting are relative, not absolute. To ensure the Auto Guidance 

line is placed the appropriate distance from shore, you can
