About AIS

If a compatible AIS (Automatic Identification System) is connected
to the system, AIS targets 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.

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 44.

Searching for AIS vessels

You can search for AIS targets by using the find option in the menu.

cursor position. Without an active cursor, the system searches for
vessels around your vessel's position.
