8.3 Radar: Screen
The default
Radar screen shows the following items, but you can
show, hide or change many of these to suit your own preferences:
• a status bar along the top.
• range rings. Range rings estimate the distance of a target from
your vessel. The number of range rings and the spacing
interval between them is automatically set, according to the
range setting. (If you want to change the range of the
Radar,
refer to the radar Installation Manual.)
• North indicator. This shows the direction of True North (0°).
• heading marker. This extends from your vessel and shows the
direction that your vessel is heading.
• the PPI position. This is the location of your vessel and the
radar sweep is centered around this.
• any land.
• any stationary targets.
• any moving targets.
• any target trails.
