Viewing Vessel Trails on the Chart
You can view trails for all tracked vessels on some chart
views. By default, a black line indicates the path of the
vessel, a black dot indicates each previously reported
position of a tracked vessel, and a blue flag indicates the
last reported position of the vessel.

Individual Routine Calls
When you connect the chartplotter to a Garmin VHF
radio, you can use the chartplotter interface to set up an
individual routine call.
When setting up an individual routine call from your
chartplotter, you can select the DSC channel on which
you want to communicate. The radio transmits this request
with your call.
Selecting a DSC Channel
NOTE:
The selection of a DSC channel is limited to those
channels that are available in all frequency bands. The
default channel is 72. If you select a different channel, the
chartplotter uses that channel for subsequent calls until
you call using another channel.
