Displaying vessel identity (AIS)

If you have an AIS receiver fitted to your system, you can use the AIS feature to:

• Display voyage information being broadcasted by these targets i.e. their position,
course, speed and rate of turn.
• Display basic or detailed information for each target vessel including safety critical
target data.
• Set up a safe zone around your boat.
• View AIS alarm and safety related messages.
