18.7 Radar mode and orientation
Radar orientation modes
The radar can operate in a number of orientation modes to suit
different types of navigation.
The orientation of the radar refers to the relationship between
the radar and the direction that you are travelling in. There are
three orientation modes to choose from:
• Head-Up
• North-Up
• Course-Up
These orientation modes are used in conjunction with motion
mode to control how your boat and radar relate to one another
and how they are displayed on screen. Any changes that you
make to the orientation of the radar are retained when you
switch off your multifunction display.
Head-Up
This is the default mode for the radar application.
