Man-Overboard Distress Calls Initiated from a VHF Radio
When the AQUAMAP is connected to a compatible VHF radio with NMEA
2000, and you initiate a man-overboard DSC distress call from the radio, the
AQUAMAP shows the man-overboard screen and prompts you to navigate
to the man-overboard point. If you have a compatible autopilot system
connected to the network, the AQUAMAP prompts you to start a Williamson’s
turn to the man-overboard point.
If you cancel the man-overboard distress call on the radio, the AQUAMAP
screen prompting you to activate navigation to the man-overboard location
disappears.
Man-Overboard and SOS Distress Calls Initiated from the AQUAMAP
When your AQUAMAP is connected to a Garmin NMEA 2000 compatible
radio and you mark an SOS or man- overboard location, the radio shows the
Distress Call page so you can quickly initiate a distress call.
For information on placing distress calls from your radio, see the VHF radio
owner’s manual.
Position Tracking
When you connect the AQUAMAP to a VHF radio using NMEA 0183, you can
track vessels that send position reports.
This feature is also available with NMEA 2000, when the vessel sends the
correct PGN data (PGN 129808; DSC Call Information).
Every position report call received is logged in the DSC list.
