By two bearings
If you have used a compass to take the bearing of two seamarks, as before drag
the bearing line from the first seamark (click, drag and release). Then drag
the second bearing line from the second seamark.
Select Calculate fix from the Navigation menu to obtain as before, the point of the bearing which is recorded in the
user data file.
Note: it is not necessary to lengthen the bearing lines to make the intersection,
as the software performs this function.
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.
As above, double click the Bearing tool
in the Tools palette to erase the trace of the bearing taken.
