Radar Map (Rp-17 Or Rp-180 Required) - Furuno FR-1500 MARK-3 Series User Manual

1.47 Radar Map (RP-17 or RP-180 required)

A radar map is a combination of map lines and symbols whereby the user can define and input the
navigation data, route planning and monitoring data. Map lines (also called nav lines) are
navigational facility whereby the observer can define lines to indicate channels or traffic separation
schemes. These lines can be ground stabilized to stop them from drifting. (Definition in IEC
60936-1 and IEC 60872-1)
In this series of radar, the standard radar map has the capacity of 3,000 points of mark and line.
The map data can be memorized to facilitate the repeated use on the routine navigation area.
The user can create a radar map on-real time while using the radar for navigation or at leisure time
at anchor or while the radar is not being used. Place of a map can be made for any waterways
apart from the actual own ship location. The map data is stored in the memory. When the optional
RP-17 card is installed in the display unit, much more data can be created and copied to another
card.

2) Wind, ocean current, depth, water temperature are displayed when the relevant sensors
are fitted and the data from these may be used to influence other data such as set/drift.
Displaying external waypoint
Waypoint defined on another navaid can be displayed by setting EXT WP to ON on the NAV DATA
menu. This can be done by the keying sequence of MENU, [0], [0], [8], [8], [3].
