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 Auto
Guidance path may move if you change this setting
while navigating. The available values for this setting
are relative, not absolute. To ensure that the Auto
Guidance line is placed the appropriate distance from
shore, you can assess the placement of the Auto
Guidance path using one or more familiar destinations
that require navigation through a narrow waterway

Adjusting the Distance from Shore

The Shoreline Distance setting indicates how close to the
shore you want the Auto Guidance line to be placed. The
Auto Guidance line may move if you change this setting
while navigating. The available values for the Shoreline
Distance setting are relative, not absolute. To ensure the
Auto Guidance line is placed the appropriate distance
from shore, you can assess the placement of the Auto
Guidance line using one or more familiar destinations that
require navigation through a narrow waterway.

Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Normal.
3 Select a destination that you have navigated to
previously.
4 Select Navigate To > Auto Guidance.
5 Review the placement of the Auto Guidance line, and
determine whether the line safely avoids known
obstacles and the turns enable efficient travel.
6 Select an option:
• If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is
satisfactory, select Menu > Navigation Options >
Stop Navigation, and proceed to step 10.
• If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known
obstacles, select Settings > Preferences >
Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline
Distance > Far.
• If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide,
select Settings > Preferences > Navigation >
Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Near.

placement of the Auto Guidance line, and determine
whether the line safely avoids known obstacles and
the turns enable efficient travel.
Auto Guidance maintains a wide clearance from
obstacles in open water, even if you set the Shoreline
Distance setting to Near or Nearest. As a result, the
chartplotter may not reposition the Auto Guidance line,
unless the destination selected requires navigation
through a narrow waterway.
