AIS250 not populating on eS98

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Robert,

As you have suggested, Raymarine's MFDs do not maintain a database of AIS target data linking MMSIs to vessels names. Accordingly, should the equipment be switched OFF, then the MFD will initially display the MMSI of the vessel. Unlike AIS position reports, which may be transmitted as frequently as every 30 seconds (for vessels moving more than 2 kts), static data for vessels is transmitted at 6 minute intervals unless AIS traffic density blocks transmission of this lower priority data.

A feature request will be logged to consider addition of a persistent vessel MMSI / name database within a future a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD software update.
