By a bearing and a range

If you have taken the bearing of a seamark using a compass or a radar and if you know the range separating you from the seamark, click this seamark on the chart, then drag the cursor over to the point where the bearing and range correspond to the values taken for the seamark.

Select Calculate fix from the Navigation menu.

A tes00002.gif is displayed on the chart and recorded in the user data file (refer to the User data chapter). The trace line of the bearing remains displayed on the chart.

Note: instead of sliding the cursor over the chart, you can click the seamark taken, then use the keyboard to enter the bearing in the dialog box available.

Double click the Bearing tool tes00003.gif in the Tools palette to erase the trace of the bearing taken. However, note that the point from the calculation remains displayed on the chart. It has been recorded onto the user data file.
