Moving an Existing VRM/EBL
You can move an existing VRM/EBL using the context-sensitive cursor. You
can controlthe VRM and EBL separately or both together.
➤ Use the context sensitivecursor toselect and move any VRM and/or EBL. If
you wish tochange the VRM and EBL together, move the cursor over the
intersectionof VRM/EBL.Thelabelindicatesthe currentobjectasVRM,EBL,
or VRM/EBL. See Moving and deleting items with the context-sensitive cursor
on page 1-17.
Deleting an Existing VRM/EBL
➤ You can deletea VRM/EBL byusing the VRM/EBL key to display the soft

sensitive cursor on page 1-17
This has the same effect as turning the VRM/EBL off using the
VRM/EBLsoftkeys.ItturnsofftheVRM/EBLpair, irrespectiveofthecursor
text:you cannot turn offVRMs and EBLs independently.
Measuring Range and Bearing Between Targets (FLOAT)
You can measure the range and bearing between any two points on the radar,
suchas two targets, using the Pathfinder Plus Radar’s Float function. This
allowsyou to move the originof a VRM/EBL away from your vessel’s
positionand onto a target. You can then change the angle of the EBL, relative
to its new origin, to obtain the bearingbetween two points.The radius of the
VRM can also be adjusted to determine the distance between two points.
Floating a VRM/EBL
Note: You can float a VRM/EBL pair using either the soft keys or the context-
sensitive cursor.The procedurefor using the cursor is the same as for moving
or unfloatinga VRM/EBL pair, as described below;however, as it is more dif-
ficult to locate the VRM/EBL origin when it is over the center, you will proba-
bly find it easier to use the keys in this case.
➤ To float a VRM/EBL pair using the keys:
1. Ifoneisnotalreadypresent,placeaVRM/EBLpairasdescribedinthepre-
