5.4 Radar Map

A radar map is a combination of map lines and symbols whereby the user can define

and input the navigation data, route planning and monitoring data. The radar map can

contain 20,000 points of data. Inscribed marks are retained when the power is turned

off.

The radar map is referenced to the WGS-84 datum and appears only when there is

valid position data input. The radar map does not affect any radar functions.

Note: The location and orientation of mark symbols and mark lines can change, de-

pending on the display presentation mode, as shown in the table below.
