Automatic Identication System

The Automatic Identication System (AIS) enables you to identify and track other vessels, and alerts you to area trafc. When connected to an external

AIS device, AQUAMAP can show some AIS information about other vessels that are within range, that are equipped with a transponder, and that are actively transmitting AIS information.

The information reported for each vessel includes the Maritime Mobile Service Identity (MMSI), location, GPS speed, GPS heading, time that has elapsed since the last position of the vessel was reported, nearest approach, and time to the nearest approach.

Some AQUAMAP models also support Blue Force Tracking. Vessels being tracked with Blue Force Tracking are indicated with a blue-green color.

AIS Targeting Symbols

Symbol

AIS vessel. The vessel is reporting AIS information. The direction in which the triangle is pointing indicates the direction in which the AIS vessel is moving.

Target is selected.

Target is activated. The target appears larger on the chart. A green line attached to the target indicates the heading of the target. The MMSI, speed, and direction of the vessel appear beneath the target, if the details setting has been set to Show. If the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, a message banner appears.

Description

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

Dangerous target in range. The target ashes 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 ashes, 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 AQUAMAP 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.

NOTE: Vessels being tracked with the Blue Force Tracking feature are indicated with a blue-green color regardless of their status.

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

AQUAMAP™ 10x2/12x2 SERIES

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.

• To show MARPA-tagged vessels, select MARPA > Show.

When Garmin Quickdraw Contours records data, a colored circle surrounds

the vessel icon. This circle represents the approximate area of the map that is scanned by each pass.

A green circle indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed under 16 km/h (10 mph). A yellow circle indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed between 16 and 32 km/h (10 and 20 mph). A red circle indicates poor depth or GPS position, and a speed above 32 km/h (20 mph).

You can view Garmin Quickdraw Contours in a combination screen or as a single view on the map.

The amount of saved data depends on the size of your memory card, your sonar source, and the speed of your boat as you record data. You can record longer when you use a single-beam sonar. It is estimated that you might be able to record about 1,500 hours of data onto a 2 GB memory card.

When you record data on a memory card in your AQUAMAP, the new data is added to your existing Garmin Quickdraw Contours map, and is saved on the memory card. When you insert a new memory card, the existing data does not transfer onto the new card.

Mapping a Body of Water Using the Garmin Quickdraw Contours

Garmin Quickdraw Contours Settings

From a chart, select MENU > Quickdraw Contours > Settings.

Display: Displays Garmin Quickdraw Contours. The User Contours option

shows your own Garmin Quickdraw Contours maps. The Community Contours option shows the maps you have downloaded from the Garmin Quickdraw Community.

Recording Offset: Sets the distance between the sonar depth and the

contour recording depth. If the water level has changed since your last recording, adjust this setting so the recording depth is the same for both recordings. For example, if the last time you recorded had a sonar depth of 3.1 m (10.5 ft.), and today’s sonar depth is 3.6 m (12 ft.), enter -0.5 m (-1.5 ft.) for the a Recording Offset value.

User Display Offset: Sets differences in contour depths and depth labels on

your own contours maps to compensate for changes in the water level of a body of water, or for depth errors in recorded maps.

Comm. Display Offset: Sets differences in contour depths and depth labels

on the community contours maps to compensate for changes in the water level of a body of water, or for depth errors in recorded maps.

Survey Coloring: Sets the color of the Garmin Quickdraw Contours display.

When this setting is turned on, the colors indicate the quality of the recording. When this setting is turned off, the contour areas use standard map colors. Green indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed under 16 km/h (10 mph). Yellow indicates good depth and GPS position, and a speed between 16 and 32 km/h (10 and 20 mph). Red indicates poor depth or GPS position, and a speed above 32 km/h (20 mph).

Depth Shading: Species the upper and lower limits of a depth range and a

color for that depth range.

Navigation with AQUAMAP

CAUTION

If your vessel has an autopilot system, a dedicated autopilot control display must be installed at each steering helm in order to disable the autopilot system.

When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may pass over land or shallow water. Use visual sightings, and steer to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.

NOTE: Some chart views are available with premium charts, in some areas.

To navigate, you must choose a destination, set a course or create a route, and follow the course or route. You can follow the course or the route on the Nav. chart, Fishing chart, or 3D chart view.

You can set and follow a course to a destination using one of three methods:

Go To: Takes you directly to the destination. This is the standard option for

navigating to a destination. The AQUAMAP creates a straight-line course or navigation line to the destination. The path may run over land and other obstacles.

Route To: Creates a route from your location to a destination, allowing you

to add turns along the way. This option provides a straight-line course to the destination, but allows you to add turns into the route to avoid land and other obstacles.

Auto Guidance: Uses the specied information about your vessel and chart

data to determine the best path to your destination. This option is available only when using a compatible premium chart in a compatible AQUAMAP. It provides a turn-by-turn navigation path to the destination, avoiding land

AQUAMAP™ 10x2/12x2 SERIES

and other obstacles. When you are using a compatible Garmin autopilot connected to the AQUAMAP using NMEA 2000®, the autopilot follows the Auto Guidance route.

NOTE: Auto Guidance is available with premium charts, in some areas.
