Parallel Index (PI) Lines

The parallel index lines are useful for keeping a constant distance between own ship
and a coastline or a partner ship when navigating. Up to six sets of PI lines are avail-
able and as many as six can be shown. One, two, three or six lines can be shown.
(The actual number of lines shown depends on the line interval.)
The bearing can be set two ways: with the scrollwheel or dragging the PI line on the
screen.
