I can't "see" my destinations, either. Let's say I want to go from Erie to Detroit through the Pelee Passage. Once I'm in the Lake, I head the boat in the general direction, and the red line projection on Navionics will tell me when I'm heading for the Passage (about 100 miles away). Unless there's an obstruction in between, that's my course; and Navionics will show my position the entire way there. I can get fancy and draw a route, but unless I need to be precisely on the rhumb line, who cares? If you need to create an imaginary mark to round first, you find the location on the chart, put your finger on the screen, create a marker (waypoint), and head for that. It really does simplify things for people like me who drive the whole time (no autopilot).

I can do the math it is just stupid that I can't just get it off the navionics, or I can go down and read it off the raymarine chart plotter or my garmin chart plotter.
