When a Distress Call, Position Report or Directory item is named, the name is attached to that particular MMSI number. If a name is used, all DSC entries of the same MMSI number show the name.

Another way to input a name is from the Entry Review Page or the DSC Distress Call or DSC Position Report Pages. The Name and MMSI are sent to other Garmin GPS units: Only the MMSI numbers are sent to other non-Garmin DSC users.
