original paper chart), navigational aids and symbols,

obstructions, and cable areas.

Navigating to a Point on the Chart

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.

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.

NOTE: The offshore Fishing chart is available with premium

charts, in some areas.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in

some areas.

From the Navigation chart or Fishing chart, select a location.

If necessary, select SELECT.

Select Navigate To.

Select an option:

• To navigate directly to the location, select Go To.

• To create a route to the location, including turns, select

Route To.

• To use Auto Guidance, select Guide To.

Review the course indicated by the magenta line.

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.

Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow

water, and other obstacles.

selected.

Select an option:

an object. If the cursor is near only one object, the name

of the object appears.

Waypoint.

Premium Charts

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: Not all models support all charts.

Optional premium charts, such as BlueChart g2 Vision ® , allow

you to get the most out of your chartplotter. In addition to

detailed marine charting, premium charts may contain these

features, which are available in some areas.

Mariner's Eye 3D: Provides a view from above and behind the

boat for a three-dimensional navigation aid.

Fish Eye 3D: Provides an underwater, three-dimensional view

that visually represents the sea floor according to the

information on the chart.

Fishing Charts: Shows the chart with enhanced bottom

contours and without navigational data. This chart works well

for offshore deep-sea fishing.
