PRESENTATION…

Typically your boats position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM).

Remember that the radar picture may vary from visual observations that you make; a nearby small object may appear the same size on the screen as a distant large object. However, with experience the approximate size of different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes.
