About AIS

If a compatible AIS (Automatic Identification System) is connected
to the MFD system, then any targets detected by these devices can
be displayed and tracked. You can also see messages and position
for DSC transmitting devices within range.
AIS targets can be displayed as overlay on chart and radar images.
The AIS is an important tool for safe travelling and collision
avoidance. You can set alarms to notify you if an AIS target gets too
close or if the target is lost.

Selecting an AIS target

When you select an AIS icon, the symbol changes to selected target
symbol. Only one target can be selected at a time.
Ú Note:
Pop-up information must be enabled to see the vessel's
name. Refer to "Chart settings" on page 49.

Searching for AIS vessels

You can search for AIS targets by using the find option in the menu.
If the cursor is active, the system searches for vessels around the
cursor position. Without an active cursor, the system searches for
vessels around your vessel's position.
