Active Waypoint, ETA at next Waypoint and ETA at end of Route.
AIS (Automatic Identification System) - When
connected to a suitable AIS receiver or transponder, all targets within range are
shown on the chart with name or MMSI number. Each target may be
selected and full details such as IMO number and ETA etc can be shown.
Targets can also be shown in list view, including those not shown on
the present Chart. Signals from both AIS Class A and Class B vessel transponders are shown
, as well as navigation marks and AtoNs( Aids to Navigation, such as
AIS equipped buoys) , including weather data, AIS Equipped SAR (Search and Rescue) Aircraft

automatically or manually are shown on the chart, for easy geographical
orientation.
SEARCH PATTERNS - Patterns for search
operations can be automatically generated, displayed and saved to
file. Either Expanding Square search or Creeping Line search as
detailed in the IAMSAR manual can be used. Your vessel can then be
navigated along the search pattern.
