MARPA targets
If the system includes a heading sensor, the MARPA function (Mini Automatic Radar Plotting
Aid) can be used to track up to ten radar targets.
You can set alarms to notify you if a target gets too close. Refer to "Radar settings"
on page 73.
MARPA tracking is an important tool for collision avoidance.

Note: MARPA requires heading data for both the radar and the NSS evo3.
