Vessel Settings - Lowrance HDS Live Operator's Manual

Vessel settings

MMSI
Used for entering your own MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity)
number into the system. You need to have this number entered to
receive addressed messages from AIS and DSC vessels. You also
need to have your MMSI number entered to avoid seeing your own
vessel as an AIS target.
Icon filters
By default, all targets are shown on the panel if an AIS device is
connected to the system.
You can select not to show any targets, or to filter the icons based
on security settings, distance, and vessel speed.
Course extension
You can set the length of the Course Over Ground (COG) extension
line for AIS vessels. The length of the extension line is either set as a
fixed distance, or to indicate the distance the vessel will move in a
selected time period.
