Vessel Trails on the Navigation Chart

You can view trails for all tracked vessels on the Navigation chart, the Fishing chart, the Mariner’s Eye 3D chart view, and the Radar Overlay. By default, a black dot appears for each previously reported position of a tracked vessel, and a Blue Flag symbol indicates the last reported position of the vessel. A black line indicating the path of the vessel also appears.

You must enable the DSC Trails setting in order to view trails for tracked vessels (page 112).

Note: The Fishing chart and Mariner’s Eye 3D are available with a preprogrammed BlueChart g2 Vision data card.
