Navigation with a Chartplotter

If your vessel has an autopilot system, a dedicated autopilot

control display must be installed at each steering helm in order

to disable the autopilot system.

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.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in

some areas.

NOTE: Mariner's Eye 3D and Fish Eye 3D chart views are

available with premium charts, in some areas.

NOTE: The offshore Fishing chart is available with premium

charts, in some areas.

To navigate, you must choose a destination, set a course or

create a route, and follow the course or route. You can follow

the course or the route on the Navigation chart, Fishing chart,

Perspective 3D chart view, or Mariner's Eye 3D chart view.
