9.10Using radar to measure distances, ranges, and bearings

When you are using the radar application, you can measure distances, ranges and bearings in a variety of ways.

These options are detailed in the table below:

	Distances
	Between	Range From
Functions	Points	Your Vessel	Bearings
Range Rings	Yes	Yes	No
	(approximate	(approximate
	distance)	range)
Cursor	No	Yes	Yes

Variable Range	No	Yes	No
Markers (VRMs)
Electronic	No	No	Yes
Bearing Lines
(EBLs)
Floating VRMs	Yes	No	No

Floating EBLs	No	No	Yes

Measuring using the range rings

Use the range rings to gauge the approximate distances between points. Range rings are concentric circles displayed on the screen and centred from your boat at pre-set distances. The number and spacing of the rings changes as you range in and out.

Measuring using the cursor

To measure the bearing and range from your boat to a specified target, move the cursor to the appropriate position on the screen.

Note: If cursor position is not shown in the Databar, go to Menu > Databar Setup > Configure.

Measuring using Variable Range Markers (VRMs)

A Variable Range Marker (VRM) is a circle centred on your vessel’s position and fixed with respect to the heading mode. When this circle is adjusted to align with a target, its range from your boat is measured and displayed on the ADJUST VRM softkey. The data is also displayed if you select the VRM with the cursor.
