Ship speed indication

When the ship speed data with NMEA 0183 format is
applied, the radar can display the ship speed. Knots
(KT) or kilometres/hour (KM/h) are automatically se-
lected in the normal screen (p. 00) by selecting nauti-
cal miles (NM) or kilometres (KM) respectively.

Position indication

When latitude/longitude data with NMEA 0183 format
is applied, the radar can display the latitude and longi-
tude of your ship's or cursor position in the bottom of
the display. (To display the "CURSOR" position, bear-
ing data is necessary.) (P. 38)

Waypoint indication

When waypoint data received from navigation equip-

display the waypoint. To display the waypoint marker,
bearing data is necessary. (p. 38)

Long pulse function

To magnify the blips for easier viewing of small targets,
the long pulse and echo stretch (p. 11) functions are
available. When the long pulse is used in the
NM range, this function magnifies target echoes to the
backward direction of the target.

Bearing setting

The radar bearing interface accepts NMEA, N+1 or
AUX data format and the bearing can be used as a
magnetic or true north type. When a true north type
bearing is used, the variation from magnetic north, etc.,
can be adjusted on 0.1˚ steps.
