EBL/VRM

The electronic bearing line (EBL) and variable range marker (VRM) allows quick measurements of range and bearing to vessels and landmasses within radar range. Two different EBL/VRMs can be placed on the radar image.

The EBL/VRM is by default positioned from the center of the vessel.

It is however possible to offset the reference point to any selected position on the radar image.

You can position EBL/VRM by using the cursor, and edit the marker position as described below.

When positioned, you can quickly turn the EBL/VRM on/off by tapping the desired EBL/VRM on the menu.
