• Go to—takes you directly to the destination.
• Route to—creates a route from your location to a destination, allowing you to add turns along the way.
• Guide to—uses BlueChart g2 Vision chart data to suggest the best path to your destination using Auto
Guidance. You must be using a BlueChart g2 Vision data card for this option to appear.
