Reference Position

The reference position for measurements (range, bearing, etc.) and markers (heading line, stern mark, etc.) can be
antenna position or consistent common reference point (CCRP), which is a location on own ship to which all
horizontal measurements, for example range, bearing, relative course, relative speed, closest point of approach
(CPA) or time to closest point of approach (TCPA), are normally referenced.
To select reference position, left-click the REF POINT indication at the top of the screen to select ANT or CCRP as
applicable.
The position of the own ship marker changes according to reference position as shown below. If the CCRP is
positioned outside of the effective display area, the bearing scale is indicated with the appropriate reduced detail.
Range and bearing are measured and graphics are drawn according to reference position as in the table below.
