What is a vector?
A vector is a line extending from a tracked target which shows course of the AIS target. The vector
tip shows estimated position of the target after the selected vector time elapses. It can be useful
to extend the vector length (time) in order to evaluate the risk of collision with any target. (See the
illustration on page 4-2 for the appearance of a vector.)
Vector time, vector reference
Vector time can be set to 30 seconds, 1, 3, 6, 15 or 30 minutes. Vectors may be displayed in True
or Relative motion.

Relative: Other ships move relative to own ship. This mode is
useful as an anti-collision aid. If a vessel is on a collision course
with own ship its vector will be pointing toward own ship position.
True: Own ship and other ships move at their true motions. This
mode is useful for discriminating between moving and stationary
targets.
