Other Vessels
You can show and configure information about other vessels for the Navigation chart, the Fishing
chart, Perspective 3D, or Mariner’s Eye 3D.
Note: To configure Automatic Identification System (AIS) information for other vessels, your
chartplotter must be connected to an external AIS device. MARPA requires the use of a heading
sensor. The heading sensor must output the NMEA 0183 sentence HDM or HDG. See “About
MARPA” (
).
