Color Current Speed Range Yellow 0 to 1 knot Orange 1 to 2 knots Red 2 or more knots Showing Tides and Current Indicators NOTE: This feature is available with premium charts, in some areas. You can show static or animated tide and current station indicators on the Navigation chart or Fishing chart. 1 From the Navigation or Fishing chart, select MENU > Chart Setup > Tides & Currents. 2 Select an option: • To show current station indicators and tide station indicators on the chart, select On.
When course over ground and heading information are provided by an activated AIS target, but rate of turn information is not provided, the projected course of the target is calculated based on the course over ground information. Showing AIS Vessels on a Chart or 3D Chart View Before you can use AIS, you must connect the chartplotter to an external AIS device and receive active transponder signals from other vessels. You can configure how other vessels appear on a chart or on a 3D chart view.
Laylines: Adjusts the laylines, when in sailing mode (Laylines Settings). Chart Setup: See Navigation and Fishing Chart Setup. Overlay Numbers: See Overlay Numbers Settings.

direction of travel, and sets the data source for the heading line. World Map: Uses either a basic world map or a shaded relief map on the chart. These differences are visible only when zoomed out too far to see the detailed charts. Spot Depths: Turns on spot soundings and sets a dangerous depth. Spot depths that are equal to or more shallow than the dangerous depth are indicated by red text. Safety Shading: Sets the shades from the shoreline to the specified depth.
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.
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. 1 Select Nav Info > Waypoints. 2 Select a waypoint. 3 Select Navigate To. 4 Select an option: • To navigate directly to the location, select Go To.
5 Review the course indicated by the magenta line. 6 Follow the magenta line along each leg in the route, steering to avoid land, shallow water, and other obstacles. 7 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). Browsing for and Navigating Parallel to a Saved Route Before you can browse a list of routes and navigate to one of them, you must create and save at least one route.
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.

used as a fishfinder. There are different sonar views to 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, sounder module, 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 chartplotter. For example, you can view the Split Frequency view only if you have a dual-frequency transducer connected.
The LiveVü sonar views provide you a view of the live movement either in front of or below your boat. The screen updates very quickly, producing sonar views that look more like live video. The RealVü 3D sonar views provide three-dimensional views of either what is in front of or below your boat. The screen updates with each sweep of the transducer. To see all five Panoptix sonar views, you need one transducer to show the down views and a second transducer to show the forward views.
