CAUTION
The Auto Guidance feature of the BlueChart g2 Vision data card is based on electronic chart information. That
data does not ensure obstacle and bottom clearance. Carefully compare the course to all visual sightings and
avoid any land, shallow water, or other obstacles that may be in your path.
When using Go To, a direct course and a corrected course may pass over land or shallow water. Use visual
sightings and steer to avoid land, shallow water, and other dangerous objects.

Automatic Identication System
The Automatic Identication System (AIS) enables you to identify and track other vessels.
About AIS
AIS alerts you to area trafc. When connected to an external AIS device, the chartplotter can show some
AIS information about other vessels that are within range, that are equipped with a transponder, and that are
actively transmitting AIS information. The information reported for each vessel includes the Maritime Mobile
Service Identity (MMSI), the location, the GPS speed, the GPS heading, the time that has elapsed since the last
position of the vessel was reported, the nearest approach, and the time to the nearest approach.

AIS Targeting Symbols
Symbol Description
➊
AIS vessel. The vessel is reporting AIS information. The direction in which the triangle is
pointing indicates the direction in which the AIS vessel is moving.
AIS target is selected.
➋
AIS target is activated. The target appears larger on the chart. A green line attached to
the target indicates the heading of the target. The MMSI, speed, and direction of the
vessel appear beneath the target if the details setting is set to Show (page 17). If the AIS
transmission from the vessel is lost, a message banner appears.
➌
AIS target is lost. A green X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is lost,
and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should
continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost target symbol
disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view.
➍
Dangerous AIS target in range. The target ashes while an alarm sounds and a message
banner appears. After the alarm has been acknowledged, a solid red triangle with a red
line attached to it indicates the location and the heading of the target. If the safe-zone
collision alarm is set to Off, the target ashes, but the audible alarm does not sound and
the alarm banner does not appear (page 18). If the AIS transmission from the vessel is
lost, a message banner appears.
➎
The location of this symbol indicates the closest point of approach to a dangerous target,
and the numbers near the symbol indicate the time to the closest point of approach to
that target.
➏
Dangerous target is lost. A red X indicates that the AIS transmission from the vessel is
lost, and the chartplotter displays a message banner asking whether the vessel should
continue to be tracked. If you discontinue vessel tracking, the lost dangerous target
symbol disappears from the chart or the 3D chart view.

Heading and Projected Course of Activated AIS Targets
When heading and course over ground 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 17). 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 the projected course line.
When course over ground, heading, and rate of turn information are provided by an activated AIS target
➊
, the
projected course
➋
of the target is calculated based on the course over ground and the rate of turn information.
The direction in which the target is turning, which is also based on the rate of turn information, is indicated by
the direction of the barb
➌
at the end of the heading line
➍
. The length of the barb does not change.
