Digital Selective Calling
Networked Chartplotter and VHF Radio
Functionality
If you have a NMEA 0183 VHF radio or a NMEA 2000
VHF radio connected to your chartplotter, these features
are enabled.
• The chartplotter can transfer your GPS position to your
radio. If your radio is capable, GPS position information
is transmitted with DSC calls.
• The chartplotter can receive digital selective calling
(DSC) distress and position information from the radio.
• The chartplotter can track the positions of vessels
sending position reports.
If you have a Garmin NMEA 2000 VHF radio connected to
your chartplotter, these features are also enabled.
• The chartplotter allows you to quickly set up and send
individual routine call details to your Garmin VHF radio.
• When you initiate a man-overboard distress call from
your radio, the chartplotter shows the man-overboard
screen and prompts you to navigate to the man-
overboard point.
• When you initiate a man-overboard distress call from
your chartplotter, the radio shows the Distress Call
page to initiate a man-overboard distress call.
For information about installing and connecting a VHF
radio, see the VHF radio installation instructions.
