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 to
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 dis-
tance user-defined chartplotter settings.
Using these settings and chart data, the
chartplotter creates a navigation line that
avoids all areas that cannot be navigat-
ed between the present location and the
destination.

autopilot connectedto the chartplotter
