Using Charts 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. 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 25). 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, course over ground, or 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, the projected course 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 at the end of the heading line. The length of the barb does not change. Projected course Activated dangerous target MMSI Heading Direction of turn Target with Course over Ground, Heading, and Rate of Turn When course over ground and heading information are provided by an activated AIS target, but rate of turn information is not provided, the projected course of the target is calculated based on the course over ground information. 24 GPSMAP 400/500 Series Owner's Manual

Using Charts
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.
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 25
). 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, course over ground, or 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, the projected course 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 at the end of the heading line. The length of the
barb does not change.

Target with Course over Ground, Heading, and Rate of Turn
When course over ground and heading information are provided by
an activated AIS target, but rate of turn information is not provided,
the projected course of the target is calculated based on the course
over ground information.
