Vessel Trails on the Navigation Chart
You can view trails for all tracked vessels on the Navigation Chart, the Fishing Chart, the Mariner’s Eye 3D
Chart view, and the Radar Overlay. By default, a black dot
➊
appears for each previously reported position of
a tracked vessel, and a Blue Flag symbol
➋
indicates the last reported position of the vessel. A black line
➌
indicating the path of the vessel also appears.
You must enable the DSC Trails setting in order to view trails for tracked vessels (
page 100 ).
Note: The Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view is available if you use a BlueChart g2 Vision data card. The Fishing
Chart is available if you use a BlueChart g2 Vision data card or a BlueChart g2 Data card, or if your built-in
map supports Fishing Charts.

Individual Routine Calls
When you connect your Garmin chartplotter to a Garmin VHF NMEA 2000-compatible radio, you can use
the chartplotter interface to set up an individual routine call. When setting up an individual routine call from
your chartplotter, you can select the DSC channel on which you want to communicate ( page 100 ). The radio
transmits this request with your call.
Selecting a DSC Channel
Note: The selection of a DSC channel is limited to those channels that are available in all frequency bands:
6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, 16, 17, 67, 68, 69, 71, 72, 73, or 77. The default channel is 72. If you select a different
channel, the chartplotter uses that channel for subsequent calls until you call using another channel.
1. From the Home screen, select information > DSC List.
2. Select a vessel or a station to call.
3. Select Review > Call with Radio > Channel.
4. Select a channel.
Making an Individual Routine Call
Note: When initiating a call from the chartplotter, if the radio does not have an MMSI number programmed,
the radio will not receive call information.
