Garmin® Marine Chartplotter/Sounder adding a leg from my boat's current position to the first waypoint in an activated route

When a route is activated on a Garmin® Marine Chartplotter/Sounder device, the chartplotter will automatically draw a navigation line from the boat's current position to the closest turn point in the route.

For example, if the boat is closest to the third waypoint in an activated route, the chartplotter will draw a line from its position to the third waypoint in the route. It will skip the first two points in the route to avoid backtracking. This will ensure the shortest path to follow to finish the route.
