1.50 Reference Position
The reference position for measurements (range, bearing, etc.) and markers
(heading line, stern mark, etc.) can be antenna position or consistent common
reference point (CCRP), which is a location on own ship to which all horizontal
measurements, for example range, bearing, relative course, relative speed,
closest point of approach (CPA) or time to closest point of approach (TCPA), are
normally referenced
.
To select reference position, right-click the REF POINT indication at the top of
the screen to select ANT or CCRP as applicable.
The position of the own ship marker changes according to reference position as
shown below. If the CCRP is positioned outside of the effective display area, the
bearing scale is indicated with the appropriate reduced detail.
