AIS messages are used to convey to the operator information
that requires attention. The messages are generated from an
external source, for example another ship in the area. When a
message has been received the Message envelope icon on the upper
toolbar is displayed in orange, with a white outline, an audible indicator is
given.
To access the message left click on the icon, the Own Ship AIS window
appears below the message icon.
For information on AIS messages, see Own Ship AIS in Chapter 9 Targets.
