6.2 Measuring Distances Using the VRM/EBL Key
You can obtain an accurate measurement of the distance and bearing between
two points by using the
VRM/EBL
key.

To place a ruler line and Ruler data box:
1. Position the cursor on the starting point from which you wish to measure.
2. Press
VRM/EBL

A Ruler data box is displayed showing the bearing and distance from the
starting point to the cursor position. The character
A
appears at the cursor
location.

connects the cursor to the starting point, and the Ruler data box is updated
to show the bearing and length of the line as shown in
Figure 6-1 .

to fix the end point of the ruler line, and return to normal cur-
sor control. The letter B marks the location of the end point on the chart.
