The software works in the background, identifying potential threats and keeping the user informed regardless of which application or screen is currently in use. This is not just a new feature \u2014 it is a major leap forward in marine situational awareness, giving the user more information with fewer actions. AutoTrack displays vessels and potential hazards directly in the radar application and shows their trajectories to improve spatial awareness and situational understanding. Even when the radar display is not being used, AutoTrack remains active \u2014 a dynamic widget shows only the most important and intelligently prioritized alerts, helping the skipper make confident decisions without excessive information noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1764937408932-Autotrackest-1-1024x641.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-112845\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1764937408932-Autotrackest-1-1024x641.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1764937408932-Autotrackest-1-300x188.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1764937408932-Autotrackest-1-768x480.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1764937408932-Autotrackest-1-600x375.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.marine.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/1764937408932-Autotrackest-1.jpeg 1279w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">AutoTrack shows a dangerous target on a Lowrance HDS Pro display.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Autonomous tracking<br><\/strong><br>AutoTrack\u2122 continuously tracks every radar sweep in the background, allowing the user to focus on other tasks.
