Using Floating Vrms/Ebls - Raymarine C-Series Reference Manual

5-18
The distance and bearing of the target is now shown in the ADJUST VRM and ADJUST
EBL soft key labels. You will be able to tell which way the target is traveling by watching
how it moves in relation to the EBL. If it continues traveling directly along the EBL, it
shows that it is on a possible collision course with your boat - take the appropriate
action.
To place a second VRM/EBL use the SET UP VRM/EBL 2 soft key and repeat steps 1 to
7above. This VRM/EBL will be placed at a location of 2/3 of current range and a bearing
of 330°.

... Using floating VRMs/EBLs

You can use the VRM/EBL float function to measure the range and bearing between
any two points on the radar screen. This function allows you to move the VRM/EBL
away from your boat's position and onto a target. You can then change the radius of
the VRM to determine the distance between two points and change the angle of the
EBL, relative to its new origin, to obtain the bearing..
