some areas.
NOTE: Not all settings apply to all maps.
You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when
calculating an Auto Guidance path.
Select Options > Settings > Preferences > Navigation >
Auto Guidance.
Preferred Depth: Sets the minimum water depth, based
on chart depth data, that your boat can safely travel
over.
NOTE: The minimum water depth for the premium
charts (made before 2016) is 3 feet. If you enter a value
of less than 3 feet, the charts only use depths of 3 feet
for Auto Guidance path calculations.
Vertical Clearance: Sets the minimum height of a bridge
or obstacle, based on chart data, that your boat can
safely travel under.
Shoreline Distance: Sets how close to the shore you
want the Auto Guidance path to be placed. The path
may move if you change this setting while navigating.
The available values for this setting are relative, not
absolute. To ensure that path is placed the appropriate
distance from shore, you can assess the placement
of the path using one or more familiar destinations
that require navigation through a narrow waterway
