1.26 How to Hide the Heading Line Temporarily
The heading line indicates the heading of your ship in all display modes. The heading
line is a line from your ship position to the outer edge of the radar display area. The
heading line appears at zero degrees on the bearing scale in head up and true view
modes. The heading line changes the orientation depending on the ship orientation in
north up and true motion modes and when the course is changed in the course up
mode.
To hide the heading line (and all marks for River and Sea purpose) and display only
targets, press and hold the CANCEL/HL OFF key. To display the heading line again,
release the key.
