Example of Track Points, Icons and Annotation
The elements of a track are shown in the example above.
• Track Points are indicated by the "+" with the time displayed beneath each one. Note
that the latest track point at 1926 is highlighted since this corresponds to the frame that
is currently displayed.
• Forecast Line or arrow shows the expected position of the echo, in this case, in 1 hour.
This line is also displayed in the highlight color to distinguish it from the track line.
• Icon in this case is an airport symbol.
• Annotation examples are the text "Icon", "Target" and "Forecast Line".
• Target for the forecast is indicated by the "X" symbol. This is used for forecasting the
time of arrival at a position.
Target Information
The "Target" is a geographical position that you use for forecasting purposes such as an
airport or urban area. The default target position is at the radar site, but you can select the
target from a list or plant a target with your cursor, similar to home points in the cursor
menu.
