Displaying AIS Target Past Positions
The past position display shows equally time-spaced dots marking past positions of activated AIS targets. A new dot
is added at preset time intervals until the preset number is reached. If a target changes its speed, the spacing will be
uneven. If it changes course, its plotted course will not be a straight line.
Below are sample past position displays.
