Using Vessel Lock

Your tracking-capable camera can lock on a target using information provided by other devices connected to the chartplotter. Depending on the target you want to track, using Vessel Lock requires specific equipment (Camera Tracking).

If necessary, from a video screen, select Options > Source, and select a compatible camera.
Select Options > Target Tracking and select an option:
- To track a vessel using AIS position information, select AIS List.
- To track a vessel or target using MARPA information, select MARPA List.
- To track a specific GPS coordinate location, select Waypoints
Select a target from the list, and select Review.
Verify the target details, and select Track with Camera.
Select Back until you return to the video screen.

The camera view automatically adjusts to show the selected vessel or target as either vessel moves.
If necessary, drag the screen to adjust the camera angle.

The Vessel Lock continues to track the vessel or target using the adjusted camera angle.
To stop tracking, select Options > Target Tracking > Stop Tracking > Back.
