The floating EBL is a pink line connecting
Point C and Point D. It’s similar to the fixed
EBL, except that both points can be moved,
to allow measuring distances between any
two points on the screen. Again, there’s a
variable range marker at each end of the
line.
The following information about the EBLs
and VRMs appears on your screen:
•
In the upper right-hand corner, you’ll
see:
>
The coordinates of Point A, B, C or D
(whichever point you selected)
>
The ETE and ETA to the selected point
•
In the bottom right-hand corner, you’ll
see the radius of the VRM(s). These
numbers are color coded blue for the
fixed EBL and pink for the floating EBL.
•
In the bottom left-hand corner, you’ll
see the length of the electronic bearing
line(s). These numbers are also color
coded blue for the fixed EBL and pink
for the floating EBL.
