tion some distance from current position. There are two types of the event marks:

How to enter an event mark

1. Set the cursor where you want to place an event mark.
2. Press the EVENT key. The horizontal range, depth and bearing to the event mark
appear at the bottom left corner of the slant mode display area.
The event mark 1 can be entered by pushing the right-click button.
With speed and heading data the mark follows own ship movements. In the True Mo-
tion mode, the event mark is stationary. When the tilt angle is changed mark position
changes with slant range. Note however that the mark position does not change when
automatic tilt is active; the tilt center angle is used to position the mark.
Plotting an event mark on the display is equivalent to dropping a buoy with an anchor-
ing chain that extends from surface to bottom. The buoy is fixed at its geographical
location, but the marker on the display moves to a point where the present beam plane
intersects the anchor chain of the buoy as the ship moves or the tilt angle is changed.
This can be said about marks as well such as fish mark and cursor.
