    standard government charts. Any electronic navigation device should be operated along with the prudent use of reliable manual
    backup material.

    Note: Accuracy is subject to change in accordance with DOD civil GPS user policy.
     

    *Guardian™ feature should be used as a tool in conjunction with other navigation such as Depth
    Sounders, Charts and Visual Sighting, and should not be relied upon as the sole means of navigation.
