Definition
Sleeping targets appear as a small isosceles triangle oriented along heading or course. Selecting one activates it, adding a course over ground vector, a heading line and, where rate of turn is available, a turn indicator. Dangerous targets flash and are shown in bold, and lost targets are crossed through. Presentation is standardised so that AIS symbols remain visually distinct from radar tracked targets on the same display.
