8.3 Radar modes
The Radar app provides preset modes that can be used to quickly
achieve the best picture depending on your current situation. Only
Radar modes supported by your Radar scanner are shown.
To change radar mode select the required mode from the Radar app
menu.
HARBOR
Harbor mode takes into account land
clutter that is typically encountered in
a Harbor, so that smaller targets are
still visible. This mode is useful when
navigating in a Harbor.
COASTAL
Coastal mode takes into account slightly
higher levels of Sea clutter that are
encountered out of Harbor areas. This
mode is useful when in open water but
keeping to coastal areas.
OFFSHORE
Offshore mode takes into account high
levels of Sea clutter so that targets are
still visible, useful when navigating in
open water away from the coast.
WEATHER
Weather mode optimizes the display
to help identify precipitation, useful for
helping determine weather fronts.
8.4 Automatic Identification System (AIS)
support
With compatible AIS hardware connected to your display, AIS targets
can be tracked.
AIS equipped vessels that are transmitting their position, and are
within range of your vessel, can be represented in the Radar app using
AIS target icons.
Note:
A maximum of 100 AIS targets can be tracked simultaneously. If
there are more than 100 AIS targets within range of your vessel the
closest 100 targets will be displayed.
