CAUTION
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 shal-
low water. Use visual sightings, and steer to
avoid land, shallow water, and other danger-
ous objects.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with pre-
mium charts, in some areas.
Garmin recommends using Guide To only
under motor power. Using Guide To while
under sail can cause an unexpected gybe,
risking damage to the sailboat. Unattended
sails and rigging can be damaged or cause
injury to any crew or passengers during an
unexpected gybe maneuver.
You can set and follow a course to a desti-
nation using one of three methods: Go To,
Route To, or Guide To.
Go To: Takes you directly to the destination.
This is the standard option for navigating
to a destination. The chartplotter creates
a straight line course or navigation line to
the destination. The path may run over
land and other obstacles.
Route To: Creates a route from your location
to a destination, allowing you to add turns
along the way. This option provides a
straight line course to the destination, but
allows you to add turns into the route that
avoid land and other obstacles.
Guide To: Creates a path to a destination
using Auto Guidance.
This option is available only when using a
compatible premium chart in a compatible
chartplotter. It provides a turn- by-turn
navigation line to the destination, avoiding
land and other obstacles. The navigation
line is based on the chart data and the
safe depth, safe height, and shoreline
distance user-defined chartplotter set-
tings. Using these settings and chart
data, the chartplotter creates a navigation
line that avoids all areas that cannot be
navigated between the present location
and the destination. When you are using
a compatible Garmin autopilot connected
to the chartplotter using NMEA 2000, the
autopilot follows the Auto Guidance route.
