Congure > Preferences > Navigation > Speed Sources.
2. Complete an action:
Select Wind, and indicate whether the calculated wind speed data comes from a Water Speed
sensor, if it is based on the GPS Speed, or whether the chartplotter selects a speed data source
automatically.

economy comes from a Water Speed sensor or if it is based on the GPS Speed.

Safe Water Depth and Safe Obstacle Height
CAUTION
The Safe Depth and Safe Height settings inuence how the chartplotter calculates an Auto Guidance
line. If an area has an unknown water depth or an unknown obstacle height, the Auto Guidance
line is not calculated in that area. If an area at the beginning or the end of an Auto Guidance line is
shallower than the safe water depth or lower than the safe obstacle height, the Auto Guidance line is
not calculated in that area. On the chart, the course through those areas appears as a gray line. When
your boat enters one of those areas, a message appears.
