A magenta line appears. In the center of the magenta
line is a thinner purple line that represents the
corrected course from your current location to the
destination. The corrected course is dynamic, and it
moves with your boat when you are off course.
3 Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land,
shallow water, and other obstacles.
4 If you are off course, follow the purple line (corrected
course) to go to your destination, or steer back to the
magenta line (direct course).
You can also use the orange course-to-steer arrow,
which shows a proposed turning radius to return your
boat to the course.
Review the path for obstacles before negotiating the
turn. If the path is unsafe, reduce your boat speed and
determine a safe path back to the course.
