The RADAR FIX effect:
If a MAP has been created and does not fit the current Radar video a RADAR
FIX can be applied.
If a saved MAP does not fit the Radar video one or more of the following
causes may apply:
a) The TRUE MAP was created using points or lat/long information from a
paper chart not in WGS 84 datum.
b) The TRUE or INDEX MAP was created “live” from a Radar image on a
previous voyage while the gyro was faulty.
c) The TRUE or INDEX MAP was created “live” from a Radar image using
different gyros (for ships equipped with two gyros).
d) The gyro currently in use is faulty and requires service.
e) The position sensor is faulty.
Before using RADAR FIX, check the position sensor and
gyro data. Radar fix can only be of temporary assistance
(particularly in case).
