Targeting on the Cruising Screen
Touch the target location on the cruising screen to begin targeting. A green ring and a green line
appear. The green ring corresponds with the range rings to help dene an object’s distance from your
location. The green line corresponds with the heading line to help dene an object’s bearing from
your location. The intersection of the green ring and green line indicate your target. If you select a
target on the side of the screen, the radar shifts to permit easier intersection with the target. You can
reposition the radar by touching and dragging the screen.
