COG (Course Over Ground)
SOG (Speed Over Ground)
Heading
Navigation status (manual input data / code)
Rate of Turn (if any)
3) Voyage data
Draught
Dangerous Cargo
Destination and ETA
4) Safety-related short message information
(2)、Main Functions
1、Automatic Identification System (AIS) function
Own ship static , dynamic and voyage data, send, receive and display information
