The past position display shows equally time-spaced dots marking the past positions
of any targets being tracked.
If a target changes its speed, the spacing will be uneven. If it changes the course, its
plotted course will not be a straight line. See the illustration below for dot pattern and
ship status.

sition indication then select [Past POSN Menu] to show that menu. Set [5 TT PAST
