Radar overlay

You can combine the chart with the radar or MARPA functions to
provide target tracking or to help you distinguish between fixed
objects and other marine traffic.

You can enhance the use of your chart by combining it with the
following radar features:

• Radar range synchronization.

• MARPA.

• Radar overlay (for distinguishing between fixed and moving

objects).

Radar range synchronization

When synchronization is switched on:

• The radar range in all radar windows, changes to match the chart

scale.

• ‘Sync’ is indicated in the top left-hand corner of the chart window.

• If you change the radar range, in any radar window, all

synchronized chart views change scale to match.

• If you change the scale of a synchronized chart window, all radar

windows change range to match.

Using the radar to view MARPA targets on the chart

The Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) function is used
for target tracking and risk analysis. When MARPA is set up in
radar mode or radar overlay, all MARPA targets are displayed in the
chart window and associated MARPA functions can be accessed
via the chart.

Using radar overlay to distinguish between fixed and moving
objects

You can overlay radar image data over your chart image allowing
better distinction between fixed objects and other marine traffic. For
best results, switch on Radar-Chart synchronization to ensure radar
range and chart scale are synchronized.
