The radar picture
With your radar scanner connected and the radar in transmit mode, the radar
picture provides a map-like representation of the area in which the radar is
operating.
Typically your boat’s position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead
bearing is indicated by a heading line, known as the Ship’s Heading Marker
(SHM).
On-screen targets may be large, small, bright or faint, dependent upon the size of
the object, its orientation and surface. Be aware that the size of a target on-screen
is dependent on many factors and may not necessarily be proportional to its
physical size. Nearby objects may appear to be the same size as distant, larger
objects. With experience, the approximate size of different objects can be
determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes.
