Reference Manual Part 2

137 Chapter 11: Radar

The presentation softkey on the radar toolbar gives you control

over:

• Waypoint behavior

• EBL

• Radar mode and display orientation

• Range rings

• AIS

These radar settings are locally applied, which means they affect

only the scanner and display on which you are working.

Orientation

Radar orientation refers to the relationship between the radar dis-

play and your direction of travel. There are three orientation modes:

• Head up

• North up

• Course up

These orientation modes are used in conjunction with motion

modes (see

page 138) to control how your vessel’s progress is

shown on screen.

Heading-Up (H-UP)

This is the default mode for the radar application.

North-Up (N-UP)

If heading data becomes unavailable while in this mode, a warning

message will be shown, the status bar shows North-Up in brackets

and the radar uses 0° heading in relative motion. When heading

data becomes available once more, North-Up mode is reinstated.

It is not possible to select Head Up mode when the motion mode is

set to True.

Ship's Heading Market (SHM)

(indicating the boat's current

heading) is upwards

As your boat's heading changes:

SHM fixed upwards

Radar picture rotates accordingly

e.g:

D8398_1

e.g:

True north at top

D8399_1

As your boat's heading changes:

Radar picture fixed (north up)

SHM rotates accordingly
