Using Follow the Contour with Advanced GPS Navigation (2023-present)

Follow the Contour allows you to navigate a contour on all Humminbird LakeMaster, CoastMaster, and AutoChart ZeroLine charts. When starting Advanced GPS Navigation to Follow the Contour, all other types of navigation are stopped on the fish finder and the Ethernet network. The boat can navigate either clockwise or counterclockwise around the contour. The Offset from the contour can range from -300 to +300 feet. Follow the Contour cannot be activated from the Wireless Remote, but the direction of travel, the contour offset, and disengaging the function can be performed using the Wireless Remote. See the Humminbird manual to learn more about Follow the Contour. If using an AutoChart ZeroLine Map Card, see the AutoChart ZeroLine Map Card Accessory Manual for more information.
