Position Tracking

When you enable position tracking, the radio uses interval-

based position requests to track up to three vessels.

Your radio transmits received position data over the NMEA

network, and you can track the vessels using your Garmin

chartplotter (Configuring DSC NMEA Transmissions, page 9).

Selecting Vessels and Activating Position Tracking

Before you can use position tracking, you must have at least

one vessel saved in the directory (Directory, page 8).

Select DSC > POS. TRACKING > ADD ENTRY.

Select the vessels you want to track.

You can track the position of up to three vessels at one time.

If you select a fourth vessel, the radio sounds an error tone,

and you must remove a vessel before you can add a new

one.

Select BEGIN TRACKING.

appears on the screen when the radio tracks vessels.

Position-Tracking Polling Interval Sequence

Regulations allow transmission of one position-request call

every five minutes. When tracking more than one vessel, the

radio alternates calling each vessel in the list at five-minute

intervals. If a vessel does not respond to five consecutive

position-request calls, the radio removes the vessel from the

position-tracking list.

You can use this table to better understand how the time interval

is applied to the vessels in the position-tracking list.

Vessel Time

Ship 1 0 minutes (immediately when starting position tracking)

Ship 2 5 minutes

Ship 3 10 minutes

Ship 1 15 minutes

Ship 2 20 minutes
