Call Sign  Up to 7 characters 
MMSI  Up to 9 characters

0.1° unit 
SOG (speed over ground) or STW (speed through water) 
ii
0.1 knot unit 
CPA (closest point of approach)  0.1 nm unit 
TCPA (time to CPA)  0.1 min unit 
BRG (true bearing) 
0.1° unit 
Range  0.01 nm unit 
HDG (heading bearing) 
0.1° unit 
ROT (rate of turn) 
iii

i.  The detail mode displays the numeric data of only a single ship, the simple mode can display the numeric 
data of up to two ships. 
ii.  When SOG or STW indication column is 102.2kn, other ship’s speed is 102.2kn or more. 
In this case, this system cannot compute CPA and TCPA, and then does not display the value information. 
iii.  When ROT indication column is blank, this condition indicates receiving data which cannot be displayed 
values. In this case, tuning direction displayed on its turning indicator can be only depended. The turning 
indicator is displayed as perpendicular straight line to its heading direction of AIS symbol. (See the section 
“5.1.2 Definitions of Symbols.)
