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

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).

Adjusting the Distance from Shore

CAUTION

The Auto Guidance feature 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.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in

some areas.

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.

1Dock your vessel or drop the anchor.

2Select Settings > Navigation > Auto Guidance >

Shoreline Distance > Normal.

3Select a destination that you have navigated to previously.

4Select Navigate To > Guide To.

5Review the placement of the Auto Guidance line, and

determine whether the line safely avoids known obstacles

and the turns enable efficient travel.

6Select an option:

• If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory,

select Menu > Stop Navigation, and proceed to step 10.

• 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.

7If 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.

8Select an option:

• If the placement of the Auto Guidance line is satisfactory,

select Menu > Stop Navigation, and proceed to step 10.

• 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.

9If 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 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.

10Repeat steps 3 through 9 at least once more, using a

different destination each time, until you are familiar with the

functionality of the Shoreline Distance setting.
