Position Tracking
When you connect the chartplotter to a VHF radio using NMEA 0183, you can track vessels that send position
reports.
This feature is also available with NMEA 2000, when the vessel sends the correct PGN data (PGN 129808; DSC
Call Information).
Every position report call received is logged in the DSC list (DSC List, page 117).
