Hi,
I am currently in Panama City, there is a canal here so there is lots of ship traffic. I can see more than 150 ships on both sides of the canal. I have some questions:
1) AIS Proximity Alarm: Is that on CPA? It should be CPA.
1a) I would like to type in a value in the number box, not just click the arrows.
2) Indicate with a small vector line on the chart which targets are too close on CPA.
3) Right click on target in chart to get info.
4) Select in AIS window should highlight target on chart.
5) When I click OK on the visual alarm does the alarm trigger on other targets?
6) Managing 150 targets is a challenge.
