MarineMax Boating Tips | Raymarine Edition: Automatic Routing

With a few simple touches your Raymarine chartplotter can plot the course to your destination. Learn how to set it up and get to your destination, fast!

• Automatic routing is available when using either Navionics or C-MAP charts.
• For Navionics, your chart card must be activated online with Navionics first.
• You also need to setup the Boat Details menu to get information on your boats beam (width), draft (depth), and height. This is all needed for safe passage planning.
• The icons used to mark waypoints will call attention to potential hazards on the automatic route.

A quick question if I may. Assuming all the requirements you mention are met how does Auto Routing contend with depth? Does it use chart datum or mean lower low water to determine if the boat can pass a particular point? Does it use in any way the Navionics tide data. Even when setting the minimum safe hight the tide state can often make a significant difference especially if the route goes under a bridge.
