If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles, select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Far . If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Near . 7 If you selected Near or Far in step 6, review the placement of the Auto Guidance line, and determine whether the line safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable efficient 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 requires navigation through a narrow waterway. 8 Select an option: 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 ( Adjusting the Distance from Shore , page 11 ). Combinations The Combination screen shows a combination of different screens at the same time. The number of options available on the Combination screen depends on the optional devices you have connected to your chartplotter and whether you are using premium maps.

If the Auto Guidance line is too close to known obstacles, select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Farthest . If the turns in the Auto Guidance line are too wide, select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance > Shoreline Distance > Nearest . 9 If you selected Nearest or Farthest in step 8, review the placement of the Auto Guidance line, and determine whether the line safely avoids known obstacles and the turns enable efficient travel.

Auto Guidance Line Configurations CAUTION 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. To change the name, select Name , enter a new name, and select Done .
To change the number of functions shown, select Functions , and select a number. To change the function of the portion of the screen, select the area to change, and select a function from the list on the right. To change the vertical or horizontal split orientation of a multi-function display, select Split , and select an option. To change how data appears on the page, select Overlay Numbers , and select an option. To change the type of data shown, select Overlay Numbers , select a data field, and select the new data type. 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 chartplotter uses when calculating an Auto Guidance line. NOTE: The minimum safe depth for the premium charts is 3 feet. If you enter a Safe Depth value of less than 3 feet, the charts only use depths of 3 feet for Auto Guidance route calculations. Safe Height : Sets the minimum height (chart height datum) of a bridge that your boat can safely travel under. Shoreline Distance : Sets 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 this setting are relative, not absolute.
To ensure that the Auto Guidance line is placed the appropriate Sonar When properly connected to a compatible transducer, your chartplotter can be used as a fishfinder. Different sonar views can help you view the fish in the area. The adjustments you can make to each sonar view vary depending on the view you are in and the chartplotter model and transducer you have connected. Sonar Views The sonar views available vary depending on the type of transducer and optional sounder module connected to the 12 Combinations
