Setting the Distance from Shore
The available values for the Shoreline Distance setting (Nearest, Near, Normal, Far, or Farthest)
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 line using one or more familiar
destinations that require navigation through a narrow waterway.
1. Dock your boat or drop anchor.
2. From the Home screen, select
Congure > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance
> Normal.
3. From the Home screen, select
Charts > Navigation Chart.
4. Select a destination that you have navigated to previously.
5. Select
Navigate To > Guide To.
6. Review the placement of the Auto Guidance line. Determine whether the line safely avoids
known obstacles, and whether the turns enable efcient travel.
7. Complete an action:
If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory, select Menu > Stop Navigation.
Proceed to step 11.
If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles, from the Home screen, select
Congure > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Far.
If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, from the Home screen, select Congure >
Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Near.
8. If you selected
Near or Far in step 7, review the placement of the Auto Guidance line. Determine
whether the line safely avoids known obstacles, and whether the turns enable efcient 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 in step 3 requires navigation through a narrow
waterway.
9. Complete an action:
If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory, select Menu > Stop Navigation.
Proceed to step 11.
If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles, from the Home screen, select
Congure > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Farthest.
If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, from the Home screen, select Congure >
Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Nearest.
10. If you selected
Farthest or Nearest in step 9, review the placement of the Auto Guidance line.
Determine whether the line safely avoids known obstacles, and whether the turns enable efcient
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 in step 4 requires navigation through a narrow
waterway.
11. Repeat steps 1–10 at least once more, using a different destination each time, until you are
familiar with the functionality of the Shoreline Distance setting.
