Define the four corners of the search area, by entering corner coordinates.
The following settings must be defined:
• Track width - controls how much space is in between parallel legs (the legs with the
longest length).
• Number of vessels - controls how many SAR routes are generated. An SAR route is created
for each vessel. The first vessel will have a red route and the others will have a dashed
black route. The space between each vessel is the track spacing distance.
• Direction - can be either Parallel or Creeping. Parallel direction makes the route move
along the side with the longest length. Creeping is the opposite as it moves along the
shortest side.
• Starting corner (CSP) - determines which corner you want to start from.
The system will calculate the number of legs and leg distances. It also calculates the
Commence Start Position (CSP) as half the track spacing from the starting corner. The start
heading is calculated as the heading parallel to the longest side of the search rectangle from
the start position.
Editing the search parameters
Use the Edit SAR dialog to alter search pattern parameters.
You can also change the 4 corners of the search area using the set to cursor menu options.
Position the cursor on the chart and then select the appropriate set to cursor menu option.
Ú Note:
The Close option on the Edit SAR dialog saves changes and closes the dialog. It
does not terminate the SAR.
Detect participating vessels not on the search pattern
Turn on AIS targets and Radar overlay to see participating vessels that are not on their search
pattern. Once identified, you can direct them back to the track.
Terminating the SAR session
Use the Cancel Search pattern menu option to stop the search.
Convert a SAR to a route
The Convert to route option allows you to name, edit, and save it to your route library.

3D charts

The 3D option provides a three dimensional graphical view of land and sea contours.
Ú Note:
All chart types work in 3D mode, but without 3D cartography for the appropriate
area the chart appears flat.
When the 3D chart option is selected, the rotate (A) and the pan (B) icons appear on the
chart panel.
Panning the 3D chart
You can move the chart in any direction by selecting the Pan icon and then panning in the
desired direction.
