and symbols, and obstructions and cable areas.
Navigating to a Point on a Chart
CAUTION
The Auto Guidance feature of the Bluechart g2 Vision data card is based on electronic chart
information. That data does not assure 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.
