Automatic Identification System
The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enables you to identify and track other vessels.
About AIS
AIS 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), the location, the GPS speed, the GPS heading, the time that has elapsed since the last
position of the vessel was reported, the nearest approach, and the time to the nearest approach.
