AIS Aids to Navigation

An AIS aid to navigation (ATON) is any kind of
navigational aid that is transmitted over the AIS radio.
ATONs are displayed on the charts and have identifying
information, such as position and type.
There are three main kinds of AIS ATONs. Real ATONs
physically exist and send their identifying and location
information from their actual location. Synthetic ATONs
physically exist, and their identifying and location
information is sent from another location. Virtual ATONs
do not actually exist, and their identifying and location
information is sent from another location.
You can view AIS ATONs on the chart when the
chartplotter is connected to a compatible AIS radio. To
show AIS ATONs, from a chart, select Menu > Layers >
Chart > Navaid > ATONs. You can view more
information about an ATON if you select the ATON on the
chart.
