4.3 Using Marks
The Marksfunction allows youto place amark anywhereon theradar picture.
You can also move existing marks or delete them. You should be aware that
radar marks are not the same as chart waypoints and cannot be used in routes,
nor can they be transferred to other displays.
Marks are placed with the default mark symbol at either cursor or vessel
position. If you wish to use a different symbol, you can change the default
setting from the RADAR SET UP menu (see Section 7.4). Mark symbols are
always displayed within a circle.
Marks are stored with their latitude, longitude and symbol; the information is
retained when the radar is turned off. Up to 100 marks can be stored in each
display unit.
Note: When you use the MARKS key to access the Marks function, simply
press the key momentarily and release it. If you hold it down for two seconds,
the Pathfinder Radar will enterman overboard (MOB) mode, as described in
Section 4.4.
