1.35 Radar Map
A radar map is a combination of map lines and symbols whereby the user can define and
input the navigation, route planning and monitoring data on the radar equipment. Map
lines are a navigational facility whereby the observer can define lines to indicate channels
or traffic separation schemes. Also called nav lines, these lines can be ground stabilized to
stop them drifting. (Definition in Annex C of IEC 60936-1 and IEC 60872-1)
In this series of radar, a radar map may contain 150 points of mark and line data on one
map. 10 maps can the memorized to facilitate the repeated use on the routine navigation
area.
The user can create a radar map on a real-time basis while using the radar for navigation
or at leisure time at anchor or while the radar is not being used. Place of a map can be
made for any waterways apart from the actual own ship location. The map data is stored
on the EEROM card which is mounted on the main processor board socket. When the
optional Video Plotter board RP-26 and RAM card are installed in the display unit, much
more data can be created and copied to another card.
