location or object you selected.

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.
