Charts and 3D Chart Views
When course over ground, heading, and rate of turn information are provided by an activated AIS target, the
projected course of the target is calculated based on the course over ground and the rate of turn information.
The direction in which the target is turning, which is also based on the rate of turn information, is indicated by
the direction of the barb at the end of the heading line. The length of the barb does not change.
