Displaying True or Relative Speed Vectors

AIS targets vector can be displayed relative to your ship's heading (R VECT) or with reference to the North (T
VECT).
Vector time (or the length of vectors) and presentation mode can be set on the status bar, at the locations circled in
the illustration below.

Association of TT and AIS Targets

An AIS-equipped ship is usually displayed by two symbols on the radar display. This is because the AIS ship
position is measured by a GPS navigator (L/L) on that ship whereas the radar detects the same ship by PPI principle
(range and bearing relative to own ship radar antenna).
To avoid the presentation of two target symbols for the same physical target, the "association" function is
incorporated. If target data from both AIS and radar plotting functions are available and if the association criteria is
fulfilled, only the activated AIS target symbol is presented.
Association will not happen between AIS and Tracked Targets if:
AIS target is sleeping
AIS target is lost
