Courses
You can set and follow a course to a destination using one of three methods: Go To, Route To, or
Guide To.
Go To—takes you directly to the destination.
Route To—creates a route from your location to a destination, allowing you to add turns along
the way.
Guide To—uses BlueChart g2 Vision chart data to suggest the best path to your destination using
Auto Guidance. You must be using a BlueChart g2 Vision data card for this option to appear.
Setting and Following a Direct Course Using Go To
CAUTION
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.
You can set and follow a direct course from your current location to a selected destination.
1. Select a destination using a chart or Where To? (
page 27).
2. Select
Navigate To > Go To.
A magenta line appears. In the center or 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.
NOTE
: 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).
Creating and Following a New Route Using Route To
See “Creating and Navigating a Route from Your Present Location” (page 30).
Following a Saved Route Using Route To
See “Browsing for and Navigating a Saved Route” (page 38).
Setting and Following a Course Using Auto Guidance
CAUTION
The Auto Guidance feature of the BlueChart g2 Vision data card 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.
