Position Tracking
You can connect a VHF radio to the same NMEA 2000 network as the chartplotter to send position reports and
track vessels that send position reports. The vessel must send the correct PGN data (PGN 129808; DSC Call
Information) to use this feature.
You can connect the chartplotter to a VHF radio using NMEA 0183, to send position reports and track vessels
that send position reports.
Every position report call received is logged in the DSC list (
).
