Typically your boat's position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a
vertical heading line, known as the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM).
Remember that the radar picture may vary from visual observations that you make; a nearby small object
may appear the same size on the screen as a distant large object. However, with experience the
approximate size of different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes.
