Radiotelephone Service on Inland Waterways (the Basel
Agreement). ATIS is prohibited outside the European inland
waterways that are covered by the Basel Agreement.
When you enable ATIS, your radio sends a data signal
identifying your station at the end of every transmission. Data
identifying your position is not sent, but your position is
calculated through the method of triangulation by coastal
stations that receive your transmissions.
To enable ATIS, you must enter your ATIS identification number
(Entering Your ATIS Identification Number, page 9), and turn
on ATIS (Turning On and Off ATIS, page 9). See your Garmin
dealer to determine your ATIS identification number and to learn
about ATIS requirements for your region.
Your radio disables these functions when you enable ATIS.
• Digital Selective Calling (DSC)
• Monitor two or three channels (Dual watch and Tri watch)
• Scanning channels
International channels 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 71, 72, 74, and
77 restrict transmitting to low-power (1 W) when you enable
ATIS.
Entering Your ATIS Identification Number
NOTICE
You can enter your ATIS identification number only once. If you
must change your ATIS identification number after entering it,
you must take your radio to your Garmin dealer for
reprogramming.
NOTE: You can access the ATIS settings on the radio after the
ATIS feature is activated by your Garmin dealer.

Automatic Identification System
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is an automatic
tracking system used on vessels and by vessel traffic services
(VTS). It enables vessels and VTS to identify and locate vessels
by electronically exchanging data with other nearby vessels and
AIS base stations. When used with a compatible chartplotter or
multifunction display (MFD), AIS can assist with collision
avoidance.
NOTE: AIS is not available on all models.
Turning On and Off AIS
1
Select MENU > AIS.
2
Select ON or OFF.
3
Select OK.
NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000
®
When you connect the radio to a NMEA 0183 device or a NMEA
2000 network, you can transfer received DSC distress and
position information to any compatible connected chartplotter
(NMEA, page 11).
The radio can also receive GPS-position information from a
NMEA 0183 device or a NMEA 2000 network. Received GPS-
position information appears on the home screen and is
transmitted with DSC calls. appears on the screen when GPS
data is available, and flashes when GPS data is not present.
When GPS data is not present, you must enter your position
manually (Manual Position Information, page 8).
For more information on connecting the radio to a NMEA 0183
device or a NMEA 2000 network, see the Installation
Instructions.
Additional Functionality with Other Garmin
Devices
The radio has additional capabilities when you connect it to
other Garmin devices, such as a chartplotter.
NOTE: You may need to upgrade your Garmin chartplotter
software to use NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 features.
When you connect the radio to a Garmin chartplotter using
either NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000, your chartplotter keeps track
of the current and previous positions of the contacts in the
directory.
When you connect the radio to the same NMEA 2000 network
as a Garmin chartplotter, you can use the chartplotter to set up
an individual routine call.
When you connect the radio to the same NMEA 2000 network
as a Garmin chartplotter, and you initiate a man-overboard
distress call from the radio, the chartplotter prompts you to
navigate to the man-overboard location. If you connect a Garmin
autopilot system to the same NMEA 2000 network, the
chartplotter prompts you to start a Williamson's turn to the man-
overboard location.
Communicating Over NMEA 0183 or NMEA
2000
NOTE: This feature is not available on all models.
You can select a connection either to a NMEA 0183 device or to
a NMEA 2000 network. The radio can communicate over only
one communication protocol at a time.
1
Select MENU > COMMUNICATIONS > PROTOCOL.
2
Select NMEA0183 or NMEA2000.
Configuring DSC NMEA Transmissions
You can filter the types of DSC-call data the radio sends to a
connected NMEA 0183 device or over a NMEA 2000 network.
1
Select MENU > COMMUNICATIONS > DSC OUTPUT.
2
Select an option:
• To send NMEA data when you receive a DSC call from
any MMSI number, select ALL VESSELS, and proceed to
the last step.
• To disable sending NMEA data when you receive a DSC
call, select NO VESSELS, and proceed to the last step.
• To send NMEA data only when you receive a call from a
vessel in your directory, select SELECT VESSELS, and
proceed to the next step.
NOTE: When you configure the radio for SELECT
VESSELS, all received DSC-distress-call data is sent over
NMEA, even if the vessel is not in your directory.

Select a vessel in your directory.
