The symbols are shown  in magenta color  when selected.  Ships are  drawn  with a  bold  line  when defined  as buddy (see 
later in this manual). 

NOTE

:  When  the  transponder  has  not  received  a  message  for  360  seconds  (6  minutes)  from  one  of  the  targets  it  is 

marked 

as “lost target” (strike out in the radar view). After 10 minutes it will disappear from both the radar view and the 

ship list. 

 
The information for each individual target may take some time to appear (up to several minutes). 
 
The  radar  view  shows  the  targets  as  “viewed  from  top”.  You  can  show  the  radar  view  as  either  “North  Up”  (shortcut: 
Ctrl+N)  or 

“Course Up” (shortcut: Ctrl+C). The default display mode is “North Up” as shown in the picture,  where north, 

(0°), is always on top. 
 
The selected target will  be colored  magenta  on a semi-transparent gray box. Buddies are shown in black, but  with thick 
lines. How to define buddies will be described in the section 

“Buddy”. 

 
Link2AIS

™ radar view shows a low resolution world map with coastal outlines when  the vessel is within 50 miles of the 

coast. This information is for reference only and does not include enough detail to navigate by.
