Raymarine C Series GPS Receiver User Manual


 
146 C-Series Display Reference Manual
True mode
With the display set in True mode, the vectors of your vessel and the target are shown
extended to their intersection point. The CPA is shown as a line that is placed on your
boat’s vector at the point of the CPA. The length and direction of the line indicates the
distance and bearing of the target at CPA. The text indicates CPA and TCPA. The text
next to the target symbol indicates its true course and speed.
Relative mode
With the display set in Relative mode, no vector extension of your boat is shown. The
CPA line emerges from your own boat, with the target vector extension being shown
as relative, not true. The text next to the target indicates its course and speed. Press
SHOW DETAILS to display the calculated relative course and speed.
