Target Vector and Predicted Position
The target vector can be True or Relative. True indicates the target's true
course and speed over ground. If selected, the vessel's vector is also shown. A
Relative vector indicates the target's course and speed relative to your vessel.
The length of the vector is determined by the target predicted position after a
set time interval.
Safe Zone
The safe zone options are used to set the dangerous target alarm limits.
The safe zone is a ring, centred on your vessel, within which a target is
considered dangerous. A target can also be considered dangerous when it is
within a specified time of the safe zone.
You can set the safe zone to off and the safe zone ring can be displayed.
Target History
Target history can be set to plot the targets previous position at specified
intervals. The four most recent position points are displayed.
