Navigation
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.
