• Cursor EBL (HU or NU modes) - will provide an image on the radar
display which will determine the risk of a collision if you continue on
the proposed course line. Press [ENT] to activate the pop-up window
‘Radar quick menu’, and press [8] to show cursor EBL. Now position
the radar cursor further ahead in the anticipated course line. A dotted
line will be drawn from your own position to the cursor position, and
thus reveal if there is a potential risk of colliding with a moving or

The bearing and distance from ship’s position to cursor position will be
displayed in the top line of the screen.

waypoint i.e. you can give the plotted waypoint a new name/number,
symbol, color, etc.
