Setting an Automatic Course (Guide To)
When using a preprogrammed BlueChart g2 Vision SD card, you
can use Auto Guidance to automatically create a suggested passage
based on available BlueChart g2 Vision chart information. See
page 42 for instructions on setting up Auto Guidance for your boat.
When the
pointer icon is on the location you want to navigate
to, or you have selected a destination using Where To?, touch
Navigate To > Guide To.
CAUTION
The Auto Guidance feature of the BlueChart g2 Vision SD card
is based on electronic chart information. Carefully compare the
course to all visual sightings, and avoid any land, shallow water, or
other obstacles that may be in your path.

between the start point and the end point, and does not move, even
when you are off course.
