Range rings

Range rings are evenly spaced concentric circles displayed on the screen that are centered on your vessel. Range rings enable you to easily estimate the distance between two points on the Radar screen.

Range ringsRadarRange ringsBy default range rings are set to automatic with the number of range rings displayed and spacing between them determined automatically by the Radar app’s range.

RadarRange ringsPreferred numberThe Range ring mode can be changed to Preferred number. When preferred number is selected you can specify your preferred number of range rings (i.e.: 2, 4, or 6). The number of preferred rings includes the azimuth ring.

Note

Due to the relationship between range and ring spacing it is not always possible to display the preferred number at all ranges.

Range ring settings can be accessed from the Presentation tab: Menu > Presentation.
