If your Garmin chartplotter and VHF radio are connected via NMEA 0183
or NMEA 2000, your chartplotter alerts you when your VHF radio receives a
DSC distress call. If position information was sent with the distress call, that
information is also available and recorded with the call.
The symbol designates a distress call in the DSC List and marks the
position of a vessel on the Navigation chart at the time the DSC distress call
was sent.

When your Garmin chartplotter is connected to a Garmin NMEA
2000-compatible radio and you initiate a man-overboard DSC distress call
from your radio, your Garmin chartplotter displays the man-overboard screen
and prompts you to navigate to the man-overboard point. If you have a Garmin
autopilot system connected to the network, your chartplotter prompts you to
start a Williamson turn to the man-overboard point.
If you cancel the man-overboard distress call on the radio, the man overboard
screen no longer appears.
