The standard cartography that comes pre-installed shows the safe passage lines. The Lake Vu HD Ultra is supposed to do auto guidance according to Garmin:

"Auto Guidance shows the best path to a destination. Use in conjunction with Satellite imagery to provide enhanced situational awareness"


"Auto Guidance 3.0 (13,000 HD Lakes)

A Garmin exclusive, Auto Guidance 3.0 directs you to your hot spots quickly by instantly creating an on-screen path for your boat to follow that avoids shallow water and other charted obstructions."


I got those quotes from this page: Garmin Lake Vu HD Ultra
