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.
Target is selected.
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 14). 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.
