Showing AIS Vessels on a Chart or 3D Chart View
Before you can use AIS, you must connect the chartplotter to an external AIS device and receive active transponder signals from other vessels.
You can configure how other vessels appear on a chart or on a 3D chart view. The display range configured for one chart or one 3D chart view are applied only to that chart or to that 3D chart view. The details, projected heading, and trails settings configured for one chart or one 3D chart view are applied to all charts and to all 3D chart views.
