Offsetting the Center

The radar picture is normally shown with your vessel at the center of the
display. However, you can move the center, so that your vessel is offset by up
to 66% of the radius, anywhere on the screen.
Note: You cannot offset the center when the radar display is set to the longest
range scale.

1. Move the cursor over the center of the radar picture, until the letters CTR are

and then press the CLEAR key. The center is always reset to the center of the
display when you turn on the Radar display.
Note: When the center is offset, additional range rings are displayed to the
edge of the radar picture, at the standard ring interval for the current range. If
you have selected the longest range scale, you cannot offset the center.

Hiding the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM)

The radar picture includes the ship's heading marker, which is a line from your
vessel's position to the edge of the picture at the vessel's current heading. In
the standard Head Up mode, the heading marker is always a vertical line.
If you wish to check for small targets that may be hidden under the heading
marker, you can hide it momentarily using the context-sensitive cursor.
