Navigating to a Point on the Chart
All route and navigation lines displayed on the chartplotter
are only intended to provide general route guidance or to
identify proper channels, and are not intended to be
precisely followed. Always defer to the navaids and
conditions on the water when navigating to avoid
groundings or hazards that could result in vessel damage,
personal injury, or death.
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.

Fish Eye 3D: Provides an underwater, three-dimensional
view that visually represents the sea floor according to
the information on the chart.
Fishing Charts: Shows the chart with enhanced bottom
contours and without navigational data. This chart
works well for offshore deep-sea fishing.
