Range and bearing calculation method
When you set a destination, the equipment displays the range, bearing and course to
the destination. Range and bearing are calculated by the Rhumb Line or Great Circle
method.
1. Press the
MENU/ESC
key to open the main menu.
2. Select [8 System Setting] then [2 Plotter].
3. Select [3 Calculation].
4. Select [1 RL] or [2 GC].
[RL] (Rhumb Line): This method calculates the range and bearing be-
tween two points drawn on a nautical chart. Since the bearing is kept
constant it is ideal for short-range navigation.
[GC] (Great Circle): This course line is the shortest course between two points on
the surface of the earth, like stretching a piece of string between two points on
earth. Frequent bearing changes are required to navigate by this method. For
long-range navigation, divide the Great Circle route into several routes, and nav-
igate each route by Rhumb Line.
