Position Tracking
When you connect the chartplotter to a VHF radio using NMEA 0183, you can track vessels that send position reports.
This feature is also available with NMEA 2000, when the vessel sends the correct PGN data (PGN 129808; DSC Call Information).
Every position report call received is logged in the DSC list (DSC List).

Viewing Vessel Trails on the Chart
You can view trails for all tracked vessels on some chart views. By default, a black line indicates the path of the vessel, a black dot indicates each previously reported position of a tracked vessel, and a blue flag indicates the last reported position of the vessel.

For example, if you select 4 Hours, all trail points that are less than four hours old appear for all tracked vessels.
Individual Routine Calls
When you connect the chartplotter to a Garmin VHF radio, you can use the chartplotter interface to set up an individual routine call.
When setting up an individual routine call from your chartplotter, you can select the DSC channel on which you want to communicate. The radio transmits this request with your call.
Selecting a DSC Channel
NOTE: The selection of a DSC channel is limited to those channels that are available in all frequency bands. The default channel is 72. If you select a different channel, the chartplotter uses that channel for subsequent calls until you call using another channel.
