The heading line indicates the ship’s heading in all presentation modes. It is a line from the own ship
position to the outer edge of the radar display area and appears at zero degrees on the bearing
scale in head-up mode, it changes the orientation depending on the ship orientation in the north-up
and true motion modes. The heading marker appears as a small circle on the bearing scale to
indicate the heading when the display is shifted or is in the north-up or TM mode.

around the bearing scale in accordance with the compass signal.

of the symbol gets smaller than 6 mm, the symbol will disappear and own ship will be represented
with a small dot or circle depending on the range in use. NOTE: Details should be entered during
