All AIS functionality on all charts and on all 3D chart views is disabled. This includes AIS vessel targeting

Enabling AIS-SART Transmission Test Alerts

Showing AIS Vessels on a Chart or on a 3D Chart View
AIS requires the use of an external AIS device and 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 is 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.
