Automatic Identication System
The Automatic Identication System (AIS) enables you to identify and track other vessels.
About AIS
AIS alerts you to area trafc. When connected to an external AIS device, the chartplotter can
show some AIS information about other vessels that are within range, that are equipped with a
transponder, and that are actively transmitting AIS information. The information reported for each
vessel includes the Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), the location, the GPS speed, the
GPS heading, the time that has elapsed since the last position of the vessel was reported, the nearest
approach, and the time to the nearest approach.
