6.  Radar

The orientation mode controls the relationship between your vessel and all the other 
targets.

The heading data is required in modes except the head-up mode. When the heading 
data is lost, the orientation mode automatically goes to head-up. A red “X” is also put 
on the compass icon on the status bar. Restore the compass signal to show the head-
ing indication. Select the orientation mode again if necessary.

To select an orientation mode, use the
RotoKey to select Head Up, Course Up or 
North Up. (You can also select an orientation 
mode with the orientation mode icon (top-left 
corner) and the Radar pop-up menu.) 

To select a motion mode, click the motion 
mode icon with the left-click button.

The relative motion display is fixed. The movement of all targets is shown with refer-
ence to your vessel, which is normally at the center of the screen.

Head-up

A display without azimuth stabilization in 
which the line that connects the center 
with the top of the display indicates your 
heading. Targets are shown at their mea-
sured distances and in their directions rel-
ative to your heading. The arrow on the 
bearing scale is the north marker.

Course-up

The radar picture is stabilized and dis-
played with the currently selected 
course at the top of the screen. When 
you change the heading, the heading 
line moves with the course selected. If 
you select a new course, the picture 
resets to display the new course at the 
top of the display.

Targets are shown at their measured 
distances and their directions relative 
to the set course, which is at the 0-de-
gree position. The heading line moves 
according to the yawing and any 
course change.
