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: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some areas. Before you can navigate to a waypoint, you must create a waypoint. 1 Select Nav Info > Waypoints. 2 Select a waypoint. 3 Select Navigate To. 4 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 Auto Guidance. 5 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. 6 Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow water, and other obstacles. Deleting a Waypoint or an MOB 1 Select Nav Info > Waypoints. 2 Select a waypoint or an MOB. 3 Select Review > Delete. Deleting All Waypoints Select Nav Info > Manage Data > Clear User Data > Waypoints > All. Routes A route is a path from one location to one or more destinations.

The last turn you add should be the first turn you make, starting from your present location. It should be the turn closest to your vessel. 6 If necessary, select Menu. 7 Select Done. 8 Review the course indicated by the magenta line. 9 Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow water, and other obstacles.
