Auto Guidance

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.

You can use Auto Guidance to plot the best path to your

destination. Auto Guidance uses your chartplotter to scan chart

data, such as water depth and known obstacles, to calculate a

suggested path. You can adjust the path during navigation.

Navigation with a Chartplotter

CAUTION

Setting and Following an Auto Guidance Path

Select a destination (Destinations).

Select Navigate To > Auto Guidance.

Review the path, indicated by the magenta line.

Select Start Navigation.

Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow

water, and other obstacles.

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.

Creating and Saving an Auto Guidance Path

Setting a Timed Arrival

You can use this feature on a route or an Auto Guidance path to

get feedback about when you should arrive at a selected point.

This allows you to time your arrival at a location, such as a

bridge opening or a race starting line.

From the Navigation chart, select MENU.

If necessary, select Navigation Options.

Select Timed Arrival.

TIP: You can quickly open the Timed Arrival menu by

selecting a point on the path or route.

Auto Guidance Line Configurations

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.
