Marking an SOS Location

You can mark an SOS location. When a Garmin

VHF radio is

connected using NMEA 2000, you can select different SOS

types, such as Man Overboard and Piracy.

Hold SOS

for one second.

Select the SOS type.

If necessary, select OK

to navigate to the man overboard

location.

If you selected OK, the chartplotter sets a direct course back to

the location. If you selected another type of SOS, the call details

are sent to the VHF radio. You must send the call using the

radio.

Browsing for and Navigating to a Saved Waypoint

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.

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.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some

areas.

Before you can navigate to a waypoint, you must create a

waypoint.

Select a waypoint.

Select

Navigate To.

Select an option:

• To navigate directly to the location, select Go To.

• To create a route to the location, including turns, select

Route To

• To use Auto Guidance, select Auto Guidance.

Review the course indicated by the magenta line.

NOTE:

When using Auto Guidance, a gray segment within

any part of the magenta line indicates that Auto Guidance

cannot calculate part of the Auto Guidance line. This is due to

the settings for minimum safe water depth and minimum safe

obstacle height.

Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow

water, and other obstacles.

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.

Select a destination (Destinations, page 11).

Select Navigate To

> Go To

A magenta line appears. In the center of 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.

Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow

water, and other obstacles.

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).

Routes

Creating and Navigating a Route From Your Present

Location

You can create and immediately navigate a route on the

Navigation chart or the Fishing chart. This procedure does not

The offshore Fishing chart is available with premium

charts, in some areas.

From the Navigation chart or Fishing chart, select a

destination.

Select Navigate To

> Route To

Select the location of the last turn before the destination.

Select

Add Turn.

If necessary, repeat step 3 and 4 to add additional turns,

working backward from the destination to the present location

of your vessel.

The last turn you add should be the first turn you make,

starting from your present location. It should be the turn

closest to your vessel.

If necessary, select

Menu.

Select

Navigate Route.

Review the course indicated by the magenta line.

Follow the magenta line, steering to avoid land, shallow

water, and other obstacles.
