An indicator for a tide station appears on the chart as a vertical

bar graph with an arrow. A red arrow pointing downward

indicates a falling tide, and a blue arrow pointing upward

indicates a rising tide. When you move the cursor over the tide

station indicator, the height of the tide at the station appears

above the station indicator.
Current direction indicators appear as arrows on the chart. The

direction of each arrow indicates the direction of the current at a

specific location on the chart. The color of the current arrow

indicates the range of speed for the current at that location.

When you move the cursor over the current direction indicator,

the specific current speed at the location appears above the

direction indicator.

When enabled, high-resolution satellite images are

present only at lower zoom levels. If you cannot see high-

resolution images in your optional chart region, you can select

Satellite Photos

Select an option:
• Select

Land Only

to show standard chart information on

the water, with photos overlaying the land.

• Select

Photo Map Blend

to show photos on both the

water and the land at a specified opacity. Use the slider

bar to adjust the photo opacity. The higher you set the

percentage, the more the satellite photos cover both land

and water.

Automatic Identification System

The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enables you to

identify and track other vessels, and alerts you to area traffic.

When connected to an external AIS device, the chartplotter can

show some AIS information about other vessels that are within

range, that are equipped with a transponder, and that are

actively transmitting AIS information. The information reported

for each vessel includes the Maritime Mobile Service Identity

(MMSI), location, GPS speed, GPS heading, time that has

elapsed since the last position of the vessel was reported,

nearest approach, and time to the nearest approach.

AIS Targeting Symbols

Symbol Description

AIS vessel. The vessel is reporting AIS information. The
direction in which the triangle is pointing indicates the
direction in which the AIS vessel is moving.
Target is selected.

Target is activated. The target appears larger on the chart. A
green line attached to the target indicates the heading of the
target. The MMSI, speed, and direction of the vessel appear
beneath the target, if the details setting has been set to Show.
If the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost, a message
banner appears.
Target is lost. A green X indicates that the AIS transmission
from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter displays a
message banner asking whether the vessel should continue
to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost
target symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view.
Dangerous target in range. The target flashes while an alarm
sounds and a message banner appears. After the alarm has
been acknowledged, a solid red triangle with a red line
attached to it indicates the location and the heading of the
target. If the safe-zone collision alarm has been set to Off, the
target flashes, but the audible alarm does not sound and the
alarm banner does not appear. If the AIS transmission from
the vessel is lost, a message banner appears.
Dangerous target is lost. A red X indicates that the AIS
transmission from the vessel is lost, and the chartplotter
displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should
continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the
lost dangerous target symbol disappears from the chart or the
3D chart view.
The location of this symbol indicates the closest point of
approach to a dangerous target, and the numbers near the
symbol indicate the time to the closest point of approach to
that target.
