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

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.
