Synchronizing radar range and chart scale
The chart application includes an option to synchronize the radar range with the
chart scale.
When synchronization is switched on:
• The radar range in all radar windows changes to match the chart scale.
• ‘Sync’ is displayed in the top left-hand corner of the chart window.
• If you change the radar range, all synchronized chart views change scale to match.
• If you change the scale of a synchronized chart window, all radar windows update
to match.

chart window

4. Toggle to
RDR
on the
