4.3.2 Parallel Cursor
A set of parallel lines with first line passing through the ship’s position and next lines being
placed equally spaced and extending from the ship’s position towards one direction.
The user can change the angle of the lines and the range between lines. It is used to
measure the bearing of other boats, navigate at a fixed distance from the coast and measure
the distance between two points.
Parallel Cursor is used to avoid running under a minimum distance from the coast. Let's say
you are navigating parallel to the coast and you need to avoid getting closer than 1000 feet
to it. By properly setting the Parallel Cursor you can may sure that your course will never
take you nearer than 1000 feet from the coast.
