magnetic North or true North.
5 Select
Set centre
to move the VRM
and EBL centre away from your boat. Use
the arrow keys to move the centre so that
it is aligned over the first location.
6 Press to save the new centre
position, then press and reselect the
VRM/EBL.
7 Select
Adjust
to adjust the VRM and the
EBL so that you can align them with the
second location. Use:
•
and to decrease and increase the
radius of the VRM until it touches the
second location to measure the range.
• and to move the EBL until it
touches the second location to
measure the bearing.
8 The range and bearing of the target is
shown at the bottom of the screen.
9 If you want to hide (or change the settings

heading line, press
then select Radar.
10 To clear the VRM/EBL display, press
and repeat steps 1 and 2. Then set Enable
to .
If you want to find the range and bearing
between two other locations, repeat the
