The course predictor line

The course predictor line (see Using the
course predictor line, on page 40) provides
another effective way to navigate a course
line or even to navigate directly to a point
on the chart. On the chart or radar screen,
just keep the end of the predictor line near
the intended course line, and your vessel
will steer towards and gently merge with
the line.
