Sailboat Autopilot Operation Route To ‹ caution Garmin recommends using route to only under motor power. Using route to while under sail can cause an unexpected gybe, risking damage to your sailboat. Unattended sails and rigging can be damaged or cause injury to any crew or passengers during an unexpected gybe maneuver. The autopilot steers the boat according to a route defined on your chartplotter. Your GHC 10 must be connected to a NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183 compatible chartplotter to use route to. Using Route To Before you can begin using route to, you must define a route on your chartplotter. Refer to the owner's manual included with your chartplotter for information on how to define a route. From the heading screen, select Menu > Route To. The autopilot steers your boat along the route defined on your chartplotter, and the heading screen shows the distance to the next turn ➀ and the distance off course ➋. ➊ ➋ GHC 10 Owner's Manual 15
