measured from the centre to the top of the window and is displayed in the left-hand

as you approach coastlines, harbors, or other vessels. The shortest range available
is 1/8 nautical miles.

provide the best overview of the vessel’s relationship to land-
masses, weather fronts and large ships within or beyond your field of vision. The
longest range available is 72 nautical miles, depending upon the scanner fitted.
