When course over ground, heading, and rate of turn information
are provided by an activated AIS target, the projected course of
the target is calculated based on the course over ground and the
rate of turn information. The direction in which the target is
turning, which is also based on the rate of turn information, is
indicated by the direction of the barb at the end of the heading
line. The length of the barb does not change.
When course over ground and heading information are provided
by an activated AIS target, but rate of turn information is not
provided, the projected course of the target is calculated based
on the course over ground information.
Activating a Target for an AIS Vessel
1
From a chart or a 3D chart view, select an AIS vessel.
2
Select AIS Vessel > Activate Target.
Viewing Information about a Targeted AIS Vessel
You can view the AIS signal status, MMSI, GPS speed, GPS
heading, and other information that is reported about a targeted
AIS vessel.
1
From a chart or a 3D chart view, select an AIS vessel.
2
Select AIS Vessel.
Deactivating a Target for an AIS Vessel
1
From a chart or a 3D chart view, select an AIS vessel.
2
Select AIS Vessel > Deactivate Target.
Viewing a List of AIS Threats
From a chart or 3D chart view, select MENU > Layers >
Other Vessels > AIS List.
Setting the Safe-Zone Collision Alarm
Before you can set a safe-zone collision alarm, you must have a
compatible chartplotter connected to an AIS device.
The safe-zone collision alarm is used only with AIS. The safe
zone is used for collision avoidance, and can be customized.
1
Select Settings > Alarms > AIS > AIS Alarm > On.
A message banner appears and an alarm sounds when an
AIS-activated vessel enters the safe-zone area around your
boat. The object is also labeled as dangerous on the screen.
When the alarm is off, the message banner and audible
alarm are disabled, but the object is still labeled as
dangerous on the screen.
2
Select Range.
3
Select a distance for the safe-zone radius around your
vessel.
4
Select Time To.
5
Select a time at which the alarm will sound if a target is
determined to intersect the safe zone.
For example, to be notified of a pending intersection 10
minutes before it will likely occur, set Time To to 10, and the
alarm will sound 10 minutes before the vessel intersects the
safe zone.
AIS Aids to Navigation
An AIS aid to navigation (ATON) is any kind of navigational aid
that is transmitted over the AIS radio. ATONs are displayed on
the charts and have identifying information, such as position and
type.
There are three main kinds of AIS ATONs. Real ATONs
physically exist and send their identifying and location
information from their actual location. Synthetic ATONs
physically exist, and their identifying and location information is
sent from another location. Virtual ATONs do not actually exist,
and their identifying and location information is sent from
another location.
You can view AIS ATONs on the chart when the chartplotter is
connected to a compatible AIS radio. To show AIS ATONs, from
a chart, select MENU > Layers > Chart > Navaid > ATONs.
You can view more information about an ATON if you select the
ATON on the chart.

AIS Distress Signals
Self-contained AIS distress signal devices transmit emergency
position reports when activated. The chartplotter can receive
signals from Search and Rescue Transmitters (SART),
Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), and
other man overboard signals. Distress signal transmissions are
different than standard AIS transmissions, so they appear
differently on the chartplotter. Instead of tracking a distress
signal transmission for collision avoidance, you track a distress
signal transmission to locate and assist a vessel or person.
Navigating to a Distress Signal Transmission
When you receive a distress signal transmission, a distress
signal alarm appears.
Select Review > Go To to begin navigation to the
transmission.
AIS Distress Signal Device Targeting Symbols
Symbol Description
AIS distress signal device transmission. Select to see more
information about the transmission and begin navigation.
Transmission lost.
Transmission test. Appears when a vessel initiates a test of
their distress signal device, and does not represent a true
emergency.
Transmission test lost.
Enabling AIS Transmission Test Alerts
To avoid a large number of test alerts and symbols in crowded
areas such as marinas, you can select to receive or ignore AIS
test messages. To test an AIS emergency device, you must
enable the chartplotter to receive test alerts.

Select Settings > Alarms > AIS.
