The unique Course Crossing feature
Slide 10
Closest Point of Approach - Rolling time forward using Course Crossing
When a target is converging the
Closest Point of Approach (CPA)
button can be used to show the
crossing situation that will occur and
when it will occur in the future.
This display is represented in the
diagram to the right.
This is a unique feature of the
WatchMate series of products. It has
been designed to make it very easy
for users to quickly see what the
situation will be and enable them to
judge the risk ahead of time,
removing the stress from a
potentially hazardous situation.
This example tells us that in 7 minutes and 56 seconds Pacific
Pearl will pass behind us with 0.3nm clearance.
