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.

such as name, elevation, and depth.

Browsing for and Navigating to a Saved Waypoint

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.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some
areas.
Before you can navigate to a waypoint, you must create a
waypoint.
1
Select Nav Info > Waypoints.
2
Select a waypoint.
3
Select Navigate To.
4
Select an option:
• To navigate directly to the location, select Go To.
• To create a route to the location, including turns, select

Review the course indicated by the magenta line.
NOTE: When using Auto Guidance, a gray segment within
any part of the magenta line indicates that Auto Guidance
cannot calculate part of the Auto Guidance line. This is due to
the settings for minimum safe water depth and minimum safe
obstacle height.
