The Automatic Identification System (AIS) enables you to identify 

and track other vessels.

AIS alerts you to area traffic. 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.
