Claim 4:
5. A system for indicating a navigable area that is reachable on a current amount of energy, the system comprising:
a display;
a processor; and
a memory including a computer program code configured to, when executed by the processor, cause the system to:
receive position data indicating a current geographic location of a watercraft on a body of water;
determine, based on energy remaining data corresponding to at least one of an amount of fuel or an amount of charge remaining, an estimated available travel distance for operating a motor of the watercraft before the watercraft runs out of energy;
receive an indication of an end point different from the current geographic location of the watercraft;
generate an overlay for a chart, wherein the overlay comprises a boundary area on the chart, wherein the boundary area corresponds to the current geographic location, the end point, and the estimated available travel distance;
present the overlay on the chart to visually communicate the boundary area to indicate travel options for the watercraft from the current geographic location to other locations while still being able to travel to the end point.
