Target intercept

The Intercept feature can be used to help rendezvous with friends or for Pilot boats and the Coast Guard to intercept vessels that are to be boarded.


	To use the Intercept feature, select and hold the target icon until the context menu is displayed, then select Intercept. The Chart app will automatically plot a direct course to a point where your vessel and the target will cross (intercept). An interception mark is placed at a predicted point where both your vessel and the target will cross. Important When performing an individual interception, you are placing your vessel on a collision course with the target vessel. In order to prevent a collision, it WILL be necessary to change to a parallel course.
