ICOM M506 AIS

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Gary,

Raymarine's a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs are designed to utilize AIS data from NMEA 0183 and SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 data sources. To view AIS target data within the Chart application page/pane being viewed:
- the MFD must be receiving a GPS position FIX from either its internal GPS sensor or from an external GPS source
- the AIS layer (MENU->PRESENTATION->OVERLAYS->AIS) must be configured ON within the Chart application page/pane being viewed.
- should one additional desire to have Radar application pages/panes plot AIS targets, then the MFD must additionally be interfaced to a source of Heading data (not to be confused with GPS COG data) and the Display AIS setting (MENU->AIS->DISPLAY AIS) setting must be configured ON within the Radar application page/pane being viewed.
