Positioning the radar center

You can move the radar PPI (Plan Position Indicator) center to different positions within the
radar panel, and select how your vessel symbol moves on the radar image.
Radar motion is indicated on the upper left corner of the radar panel as either TM (True
motion) or RM (Relative motion).
The radar position can only be changed when the radar is transmitting.

Center

3.

True motion

In True motion, your vessel and moving targets move across the Radar screen as you travel.
All stationary objects remain in a fixed position. When the vessel’s symbol reaches the edge
of the screen, the radar image will be redrawn with the vessel symbol repositioned in the
center of the screen.
When True motion is selected, the menu will expand to include a reset true motion option.
This allows for manually resetting the radar image and vessel symbol to the center of the
screen.

EBL/VRM markers

The electronic bearing line (EBL) and variable range marker (VRM) allows quick
measurements of range and bearing to vessels and landmasses within radar range. Two
different EBL/VRMs can be placed on the radar image.
The EBL/VRM is by default positioned from the center of the vessel. It is however possible to
offset the reference point to any selected position on the radar image.
When positioned, you can turn the EBL/VRM on/off by selecting the relevant markers on the
data bar, or by deselecting the marker from the menu.
