course is dynamic, and it moves with your boat when you are
off course.

Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow
water, and other obstacles.

If you are off course, follow the purple line (corrected course)
to go to your destination, or steer back to the magenta line

You can also use the orange course-to-steer arrow, which
