Variance: Sets the magnetic declination, the angle between
magnetic north and true north, for your present location.
North Reference: Sets the direction references used in
calculating heading information. True sets geographic north
as the north reference. Grid sets grid north as the north
reference (000º). Magnetic sets the magnetic north as the
north reference.
Position Format: Sets the position format in which a given
location reading appears. Do not change this setting unless
you are using a map or chart that specifies a different
position format.
Map Datum: Sets the coordinate system on which the map is
structured. Do not change this setting unless you are using a
map or chart that specifies a different map datum.

Auto Guidance Line Configurations
The Safe Depth and Safe Height settings influence how the
chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance line. If an area has an
unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle height, the Auto
Guidance line is not calculated in that area. If an area at the
beginning or the end of an Auto Guidance line is shallower than
the safe water depth or lower than the safe obstacle height, the
Auto Guidance line is not calculated in that area. On the chart,
the course through those areas appears as a gray line. When
your boat enters one of those areas, a warning message
appears.
NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some
areas.
You can set the parameters the chartplotter uses when
calculating an Auto Guidance line.
Safe Depth: Sets the minimum depth (chart depth datum) the
Safe Height: Sets the minimum height (chart height datum) of a
Shoreline Distance: Sets how close to the shore you want the
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.
