the AIS is a scaled ship symbol) and can be shown in one of the following
states:

an activated target and is never
displayed with vectors.
Activated An activated target is displayed with
heading and speed/course vector. The
speed/course vector is a dashed line
originating from the centre of the
triangle, the length of line being
proportional to the vector time.
If heading data is missing or invalid the
course vector is shown in place of the
heading line.
Activated and
Selected When an activated target is selected a
dashed square outline appears centred
on the target origin and information on
the target is shown in the AIS window.

symbol triangle, the AIS triangle is
drawn with the ship’s outline around it.
The ships outline symbol is not
displayed if any of the following apply:
1. When the reference point of the
reported position is unavailable.
