1.11 Measuring the Bearing

The bearing to a target can be measured with
the cursor and the EBL (Electronic Bearing
Line).

the inside edge of the target. Read the
bearing to the target at the bottom right
corner.

Measuring bearing with the EBL

which is a dashed line to distinguish it
from the heading line.

corner on the screen to find the bearing to
the target.


To anchor the EBL, press the [MENU/ESC]
