Settings / AIS Labels

AIS Target Label Options

Settings

Show Labels for Targets : Choose method for determining whether AIS labels are shown. When Off, labels are not shown unless the vessel is selected. When On, each AIS vessel is normally labeled with the vessel name.
When set to Auto labels are shown according to an algorithm to detect when the display is cluttered. For instance, vessels with SOG less than 2kn normally do not have labels shown.
For On and Auto, labels for certain vessel types (pilot, tug, towing, dredging, law enforcement, military, and rescue) are normally shown.
Prioritize Labels for Important Vessels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, labels for important vessels are normally shown. Important vessels include tugs, towing, dredge, law enforcement, military, pilot, and rescue vessels.
Use Fill for Labels : When enabled, labels are shown with solid background. This can make labels easier to read but can obscure other objects. Labels for selected objects always use solid background.
Hide Labels for Small Vessels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, labels are shown for small vessels (those less than the Meeting Point / Small Vessel Length). Exceptions are made for certain vessel types (pilot, tug, towing, dredging, law enforcement, military, and rescue), or if manually selected by the user.
Offset AIS Target Labels from Route (Experimental) (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, labels for targets on the active route are moved off the route and connected with a line. The XTD is used to determine how far to move labels away from the route.

Fields

Show Pilot on Labels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled, labels are visible, and a pilot's name is available, it is displayed on the label. Note that pilot names are only available on Hi-Res PPU targets (Settings / AIS Sharing / Hi-Res PPU Targets).
Show HDG on Labels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled and labels are visible, each AIS target is shown with its HDG.
Show COG on Labels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled and labels are visible, each AIS target is shown with its COG.
Show SOG on Labels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled and labels are visible, each AIS target is shown with its SOG.
Show Draft on Labels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled and labels are visible, each AIS target is shown with its draft.
Show Destination (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled and labels are visible, each AIS target is shown with its destination displayed (when available). The data used for the destination is that transmitted by the target's AIS.
Show ETA on Labels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled and labels are visible, each AIS target is shown with its ETA displayed (when available). The data used for the ETA is that transmitted by the target's AIS.
Show CPA on Labels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled and labels are visible, each AIS target within 10nm of Own-Ship is shown with its Closest Point of Approach (CPA).
CPA gives distances based on center of Own-Ship and target. This assumes vessels maintain course (COG & SOG), regardless of current ROT.
Show BCR on Labels (Only SEAiq Pilot) : When enabled and labels are visible, each AIS target within 10nm of Own-Ship is shown with Bow Crossing Range (BCR).
BCR gives distances for centers of Own-Ship and target, not their bow or stern. The calculation assumes vessels maintain (COG & SOG), regardless of the current ROT.
