Event Mark, Own Ship Position Mark

The event mark is useful for finding the horizontal range, depth and bearing to a
location some distance from current position. 10 such marks may be inscribed
on the horizontal display. This function requires speed and heading data.
There are two types of event marks, latest event mark ( ⊕ ) and event mark (+).
Each time an event mark is entered the latest event mark appears at the
trackball mark position and all other event marks are shown by the "plus" (+)
mark and numbered in sequential order. When the memory capacity for event
marks is reached the earliest event mark is automatically erased to make room
for the latest.
