Navigating to a Point on the Chart

CAUTION

The Auto Guidance feature of the Bluechart g2 Vision data card 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: The Fishing chart is available with a preprogrammed BlueChart g2 Vision data card.
