1.24.3 Trail mode
You can display the echo trails in true or relative motion.
True mode
The true trails show true target movements according to their over-the-ground speeds
and courses. The stationary targets do not show the trails. True trails mode requires
heading signal and position data. If either signal is lost, true trail mode is cancelled.
Relative mode
The relative trails show other ships’ movements relative to your ship. The stationary
targets also show the trails.
True trails and relative trails
To select the trail mode, do the following:
1. Press the MENU key to open the menu.
2. Use S or T to select [Target Trails] and press the ENTER key.
