Parallel index lines
Parallel Index (PI) lines are used to visualize the distance to own vessel, other vessels or to
land objects. Two index lines can be used to indicate a corridor - typically used to visualize an
area you want to maneuver within.
The PI lines can be defined with north or heading stabilization, and with true or relative
bearing.
• North stabilization: the line direction is maintained with respect to north
• Heading stabilization: the line rotates with the vessel heading
• True bearings: the parallel index bearing is measured from the geographical north
• Relative bearings: the parallel index bearing is measured from the heading line
You can define four PI lines in the system, and they are identified with different color and
style:
• PI1: Grey solid line
• PI2: Grey dashed line
• PI3: Orange solid line
• PI4: Orange dashed line

You can turn each PI line on and off individually, and the position, bearing and truncating
can be set for each line.
Each PI line can be reset to be parallel to own ship's heading from the main menu.
