PAGE
This function merges Radar and chart data into a single picture by drawing Radar
targets over the cartography.
When in Chart Overlay mode, the chart inherits the Radar page setting, e.g.
Orientation, True Motion mode.
To enable (On) or disable (Off) the Chart Overlay follow the procedure:
[MENU] + "CHART OVERLAY" + [ENTER]
NOTE
Requires a heading and a position sensor connected to the chart plotter
through an NMEA 0183 interface. The heading sensor can be either a
gyrocompass or a fluxgate compass. The gyrocompass provides the best
performance in all conditions.

16, 24, 36 and 48 Nm (the maximum range depends on the antenna used).
