Auto Guidance
: 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 distance user-defined chartplotter settings. Using
these settings and chart data, the chartplotter creates a
navigation line that avoids all areas that cannot be navigated
between the present location and the destination.
When you are using a compatible Garmin autopilot
connected to the chartplotter using NMEA 2000
®
, the
autopilot follows the Auto Guidance route.
