You can view indicators for animated tide station and current

direction on the Navigation chart or the Fishing chart. You must

also enable animated icons in the chart settings (Showing and

Configuring Tides and Currents).

An indicator for a tide station appears on the chart as a vertical

bar graph with an arrow. A red arrow pointing downward

indicates a falling tide, and a blue arrow pointing upward

indicates a rising tide. When you move the cursor over the tide

station indicator, the height of the tide at the station appears

above the station indicator.

Current direction indicators appear as arrows on the chart. The

direction of each arrow indicates the direction of the current at a

specific location on the chart. The color of the current arrow

indicates the range of speed for the current at that location.

When you move the cursor over the current direction indicator,

the specific current speed at the location appears above the

direction indicator.

Automatic Identification System

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enables you to

identify and track other vessels, and alerts you to area traffic.

When connected to an external AIS device, the chartplotter 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 chartplotter models also support Blue Force Tracking.

Vessels being tracked with Blue Force Tracking are indicated on

the chartplotter with a blue-green color.

AIS Targeting Symbols

Symbol Description

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.

Target is lost. A green 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

target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view.

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.

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
