Networked Chartplotter and VHF Radio Functionality

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.
-
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.
