AIS
About AIS
If a compatible AIS (Automatic Identification System) is connected to the system, AIS targets
can be displayed and tracked. You can also see messages and position for DSC transmitting
devices within range.
AIS targets can be displayed as overlay on chart and radar images.
The AIS is an important tool for safe travelling and collision avoidance. You can set alarms to
notify you if an AIS target gets too close or if the target is lost.

Searching for AIS vessels
You can search for AIS targets by using the find option in the menu. If the cursor is active, the
