Configuring for AIS Data
An Automatic Identification System (AIS) Transceiver transmits and receives AIS
NMEA sentences. Jeppesen Workboat Navigator interprets and displays AIS target
data, providing you with the ability to make safer navigation decisions in shorter
periods of time.
Jeppesen Workboat Navigator displays an on-screen mark for all AIS-compliant
boats within radio range, including each boat's velocity vector. Click on each boat's
icon to learn boat name, course and speed, classification, call sign, registration
number, MMSI Number, and other AIS information being transmitted by the boat.
