Position the cursor on the toggle field and press the
trackball button to select the preferred motion.
The preferred motion is linked with the TRAILS
character.
General
If Relative Motion is selected, your own ship is stationary and all other objects,
including land mass, buoys, ships at anchor and ships in motion, move with the
correct relative speed and course.
In this case Relative Motion provides two special settings linked to the TRAILS
toggle field (chapter 2.3.7.2).
The following figures show the differences on the Radar video.
Relative Motion
RM (R) for relative motion and relative trails
RM (T) for relative motion and true trails
