Does anyone know what map system is preloaded on the 2019 Volvo glass cockpit.? I am getting conflicting info. On the Volvo site it says the LakeVu HD is preloaded but that is an older system and was replaced by LakeVu 3g by Garmin. The LakeVu HD does not support auto guidance and the LakeVu 3g does. I’ve only started to mess around with the autopilot system and i haven’t been able to Find the auto guidance system, only the “go to” or “route to “ options. I’ve read there are several user parameters that need to be set before auto guidance will work so maybe that’s why I don’t see the option for it yet? Or do I have the old Lake Vu HD maps loaded and I need to upgrade to the 3g to use that option?

You have to set your boat parameters and have the ultra HD maps for auto guidance to work. For example, tonight I removed the keep offset and my depth min and the guide to option disappeared. I know there are two levels of maps for inland lakes and you need the more expensive one.
Be careful on LG with guide to, if you set your shore distance to normal, you will hit something in the narrows.
What I did, I made a track and saved it, a track I know keeps me safe in the dark and that’s what I follow.
This is the map part number I have 010-D1709-00

I got it figured out today. First I set up the active captain app on my phone and connected it to my glass cockpit WiFi. I then updated the system and then down loaded a free upgrade to the LakeVu g3 charts which then gave me the auto guidance option. I plan on trying it out tomorrow.
Aviator, thanks for the heads up about using it on LG. I will let you know what I experience using the newer g3 chart.

Separate subject but did they add a danger marker in the narrows? I think it broke loose...because I didn’t see it the next day. I was coming back late at night and I know every marker by heart than this one popped up and freaked me out.
On your chart plotter, activate the blinking function of the markers, very handy.

Do you remember where in the narrows you were?

Roughly about 1/2 mile from where you were going north.
