Symbol Description

Dangerous target in range. The target flashes while an alarm sounds and a message banner appears. After the alarm has been acknowledged, a solid red triangle with a red line attached to it indicates the location and the heading of the target. If the safe-zone collision alarm has been set to Off, the target flashes, but the audible alarm does not sound and the alarm banner does not appear. If the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, a message banner appears.

Dangerous target is lost. A red X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost dangerous target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view.

The location of this symbol indicates the closest point of approach to a dangerous target, and the numbers near the symbol indicate the time to the closest point of approach to that target.

Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS Targets

When heading and course over ground information are provided by an activated AIS target, the heading of the target appears on a chart as a solid line attached to the AIS target symbol. A heading line does not appear on a 3D chart view.

The projected course of an activated AIS target appears as a dashed line on a chart or a 3D chart view. The length of the projected course line is based on the value of the projected heading setting. If an activated AIS target is not transmitting speed information, or if the vessel is not moving, a projected course line does not appear. Changes in the speed, course over ground, or rate of turn information transmitted by the vessel can impact the calculation of the projected course line.

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.

Showing AIS Vessels on a Chart or 3D Chart View

Before you can use AIS, you must connect the chartplotter to an external AIS device and receive active transponder signals from other vessels.

You can configure how other vessels appear on a chart or on a 3D chart view. The display range configured for one chart or one 3D chart view are applied only to that chart or to that 3D chart view. The details, projected heading, and trails settings configured for one chart or one 3D chart view are applied to all charts and to all 3D chart views.

From a chart or 3D chart view, select Menu > Other Vessels > AIS Display Setup.

Select an option:

• To indicate the distance from your location in which AIS vessels appear, select Display Range, and select a distance.

• To show details about AIS-activated vessels, select Details > Show.

• To set the projected heading time for AIS-activated vessels, select Projected Heading, and enter the time.

• To show the tracks of AIS vessels, select Trails, and select the length of the track that appears using a trail.

Setting a Safe-Zone Collision Alarm

Before you can set a collision alarm, you must have a compatible chartplotter connected to an AIS device or radar.

The safe-zone collision alarm is used only with AIS. The safe zone is used for collision avoidance and can be customized.

Select 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.

Select Range.

Select a distance for the safe-zone radius around your vessel.

Select Time To.

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 Search and Rescue Transmitters

AIS Search and Rescue Transmitters (AIS-SART, or SART) are self-contained devices that transmit emergency position reports when activated. SART transmissions are different than standard AIS transmissions, so they appear differently on the chartplotter. Instead of tracking a SART transmission for collision avoidance, you track a SART transmission to locate and assist a vessel.
