Own Ship Symbols
There are three types of symbol that may be used to display own ship’s
position and heading:
Minimised
Symbol
Outline
Symbol
Custom

Minimised Symbol
The minimised symbol is drawn where the scaled outline symbol cannot be
resolved at the given range scale. The minimised symbol may be drawn in
one of two ways, depending on the current view selected in Chart/Radar
Maps.
Circle Symbol
- the circle symbol is drawn when the system is in
Charts view (Filled or Unfilled). It has a 6mm diameter for the outer
circle and a 3mm diameter for the inner circle, in addition to the
heading line and beam line.
Heading and Beam Line Symbol
- this symbol appears when the
system is in Radar Maps or Charts Off view. The symbol consists
of the heading line and beam line only.
Outline Symbol
The outline symbol is displayed when
Default Symbol
is selected in
Ownship Display Settings and the greatest dimension of the ship is larger
than 6mm on the display.
The outline symbol is displayed in addition to own ship minimised symbol
(heading line and beam line).
