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.
