NOTE: Occasionally clearing Stormscope lightning data is a good way to determine if a storm is building
or dissipating. Stormscope lightning data reappears faster and in larger numbers in a building storm.
Lightning data appears slower and in smaller numbers in a dissipating storm.
NOTE: If heading input is lost, strikes and/or cells must be cleared manually after each turn to ensure that
the strike and/or cell positions are shown accurately.
Stormscope data can be cleared from the Navigation Map Page by using the third Navigation Map Page
Menu Option, ‘Clear Lightning Data’ (Figure 6-7).
Removing Stormscope lightning data from the Navigation Map Page:
