9.The 8000i updates the range readout with each change in radius. Select OK when you are at the target.

10.To show the bearing readout, you can either:

ƒdrag EBL 1 across the PPI until it touches the target, or

ƒselect Adjust EBL 1 then use Up or Down or the rotary knob to move EBL1 until it touches the target.

11.The 8000i updates the bearing readout with each change. Select OK when you are at the target.

12.When you want to clear the data, select Center EBL 1, then select

Return.

13.If you want to find the range and bearing between two other locations, select VRM/EBL 2 then repeat the sequence. These dotted lines are shown in a different color.

NOTE: If you select the junction of the EBL/VRM, you can drag them both at the same time.

NOTE: If there's no heading data available from a heading sensor, the EBL readouts are shown relative to your vessel's heading.

24.5Set the EBL reference bearing

The EBL reference defines the reference bearing for the bearing readouts. There are two choices:

•Relative. The bearing readouts are relative to your heading. This is the default.

•North. The bearing readouts are relative to true or magnetic North, depending on the bearing mode you chose (see "Select the bearing mode" in the Chart section).

To change the EBL Reference setting:

1.Display the Radar screen and the control panel. If you can't see the

Range and Bearing button, select Return.

2.Select Range and Bearing.

3.The EBL Reference button shows the current selection. Select the button to toggle to the other setting. The new setting is shown immediately and stays until you change it again.

4.When you are finished, select Return.
