Figure 7-11 Event mark description
Plotting an event mark on the display is equivalent to dropping a
buoy with an anchoring chain that extends from surface to bot-
tom. The buoy is fixed at its present geographical location, but
the marker on the display moves to a point where present beam
plane intersects the anchor chain of the buoy as the ship moves
or the tilt angle is changed. This can be said of other marks as
well such as fish mark and trackball mark.
