Showing Ais Vessels On The Radar Screen; Vrm And Ebl; Showing And Adjusting The Vrm And The Ebl; Measuring The Range And Bearing To A Target Object - Garmin GPSMAP 10X2 Series Owner's Manual

Showing AIS Vessels on the Radar Screen

AIS requires the use of an external AIS device and active transponder signals from other vessels.
You can configure how other vessels appear on the Radar screen. If any setting (except the AIS display range)
is configured for one radar mode, the setting is applied to every other radar mode. The details and projected
heading settings configured for one radar mode are applied to every other radar mode and to the Radar overlay.
1 From a Radar screen or the Radar overlay, select MENU > Layers > Other Vessels > AIS.
2 Select an option:
• To indicate the distance from your location within which AIS vessels appear, select Display Range, and
select a distance.
• To show details about AIS-activated vessels, select Details > Show.
• To set the projected heading time for AIS-activated vessels, select Proj. Heading, and enter the time.

VRM and EBL

The variable range marker (VRM) and the electronic bearing line (EBL) measure the distance and bearing from
your boat to a target object. On the Radar screen, the VRM appears as a circle that is centered on the present
location of your boat, and the EBL appears as a line that begins at the present location of your boat and
intersects the VRM. The point of intersection is the target of the VRM and the EBL.

Showing and Adjusting the VRM and the EBL

You can adjust the diameter of the VRM and the angle of the EBL, which moves the intersection point of the
VRM and the EBL. The VRM and the EBL configured for one mode are applied to all other radar modes.
1 From a radar screen, select MENU > Radar Options > VRM/EBL.
2 To adjust the VRM/EBL, select the arrows on the VRM/EBL button.
3 Select a new location for the intersection point of the VRM and the EBL
4 Select Done
