hy can't there be a way(or is there) to program a protective and predictive algorithm that would warn us when we are about to hit something or go into water shallower than a preset limit??
Depth alarms are available on most integrated systems I am aware of. As are alarms for approaching certain way points, or MARPA for radar targets. There were a few tight and irregulalry shaped anchorages where I liked to set my depth alarm.
