Showing AIS Vessels on the Radar Screen
AIS requires the use of an external AIS device and active
transponder signals from other vessels.
You can configure how other vessels appear on the Radar
screen. If any setting (except the AIS display range) is
configured for one radar mode, the setting is applied to every
other radar mode. The details and projected heading settings
configured for one radar mode are applied to every other radar
mode and to the Radar overlay.

VRM and EBL
The variable range marker (VRM) and the electronic bearing line
(EBL) measure the distance and bearing from your boat to a
target object. On the Radar screen, the VRM appears as a circle
that is centered on the present location of your boat, and the
EBL appears as a line that begins at the present location of your
boat and intersects the VRM. The point of intersection is the
target of the VRM and the EBL.
Showing and Adjusting the VRM and the EBL
You can adjust the diameter of the VRM and the angle of the
EBL, which moves the intersection point of the VRM and the
EBL. The VRM and the EBL configured for one mode are
applied to all other radar modes.

Echo Trails
The echo trails feature enables you to track the movement of
vessels on the radar display. As a vessel moves, you can see a
faint trail of the vessel's wake. You can change the length of
time the trail is displayed.
NOTE: Depending upon the radar in use, the settings configured
for use in one radar mode may or may not be applied to other
radar modes or to the radar overlay.
NOTE: This feature is not available on xHD open array or
HD/HD+ radome models.
