This section describes how to use the radar controls to:

Use the zoom function to enlarge a selected area.

Offset the center of the radar display.

Momentarily hide the ship’s heading marker (SHM).

Using the Zoom Function

If you wish to see a section of the radar picture in more detail, you can use the Zoom function to magnify the selected area to twice its size. There are two zoom options:

Zoom Into - The enlarged area is displayed in a quarter-screen Zoom Win- dow in the lower right corner of the screen. A box in the original radar pic- ture indicates the enlarged area; you can move this using the context- sensitive cursor, thereby changing the image in the Zoom Window.

Note: If the area you wish to enlarge is in the quarter of the screen that will be covered by the Zoom Window, you should offset the center (see the next sec- tion) to move the area to another part of the screen before selecting Zoom mode.

Zoom From - The enlarged area is displayed in the main window, with the original radar picture in a quarter-screen window in the lower right corner of the screen. A box in the original radar picture indicates the enlarged area; you can move this using the context-sensitive cursor, thereby changing the zoomed image.

Note: You cannot use Zoom and Windows at the same time: if you turn one on, the other is turned off automatically, and restored when the latter is turned off again.

To enlarge an area:

1. Press the DISPLAY key. The soft keys are updated.
