Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS Targets

When course over ground and heading information are provided by

an activated AIS target, the heading of the target appears on a chart

as a solid line attached to the AIS target symbol. A heading line does

not appear on a 3D chart view.
The projected course of an activated AIS target appears as a dashed

line on a chart or a 3D chart view. The length of the projected course

line is based on the value of the projected heading setting (

page 45

If an activated AIS target is not transmitting speed information, or

if the vessel is not moving, a projected course line does not appear.

Changes in the speed, the course over ground, or the rate-of-turn

information transmitted by the vessel can impact the calculation of
