Turning Off AIS reception
AIS signal reception is turned on by default.
From the Home screen, select Configure > Other Vessels > aiS > Off.
All AIS functionality on all charts and on all 3D chart views is disabled.
This includes AIS vessel targeting and tracking, collision alarms that result
from AIS vessel targeting and tracking, and information about AIS vessels.
Enabling AIS-SArT Transmission Test Alerts
In order to avoid a large number of test alerts and symbols in crowded areas
such as marinas, AIS-SART test alerts ignored by default. To test an AIS SART
device, you must enable the chartplotter to receive test alerts.
From the Home screen, select Configure > Other Vessels > aiS SaRT
Test.
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.
NOTE: Mariner’s Eye 3D charts are available only if you use a
BlueChart g2 Vision SD card. Fishing charts are available if you use a
BlueChart g2 Vision SD card or if your built-in map supports Fishing charts.

Eye 3d.
