Measuring Range and Bearing to Target from Vessel

To measure the range and/or bearing of a target or point from your vessels position, you need to place a VRM/EBL and move it so that it crosses the target or point for which you require the bearing or range. When you turn on a VRM/EBL, it is displayed in its last-used position.

Note: If the VRMs last-used position is outside the radar picture at the current range setting, it is placed at its default position instead. This is one third of the range for VRM1, and two-thirds for VRM2.

Using VRM/EBL

To access VRM/EBLs:

1.Click the VRM/EBL button on the Pathfinder Panel. The VRM/EBL buttons are displayed.

2.Click the button that corresponds with the action you want:

Click:	To:
VRM/EBL On/Off	Display VRM/EBL in its last-used
	position/Remove the VRM/EBL
	from the radar display.
Edit VRM/EBL	Modify the selected
	VRM/EBL combination.
Edit VRM	Modify the selected VRM.
Edit EBL	Modify the selected EBL.
Databox On/Off	Display/Remove Databox.

3.Click Databox On/Off to display range and bearing.
