Available options are Black, Blue, or White. • Heading Line-toggles the heading line on or off. • Bearing Reference-sets your bearing, either Absolute or Relative.

Use the ROCKER and the ENTER key to select or clear options. • Waypoints-show user waypoints on the Radar Page. • Bearing Line-show a bearing line on the Radar Page. The bearing line appears as a line from your current position to the active destination waypoint, similar to a traditional lollipop. • Course Line-show a course line from your starting point to the active destination waypoint, which is similar to navigation on a map. MARPA Sub Tab The MARPA sub tab contains settings for Vector Length, Target History, Own Vessel Safe Zone, Time To Safe Zone, Safe Ring Zone, and Velocity Reference. 12 The available MARPA sub tab options are: • Vector Length­-predicts the target's approximate position at a set time interval. This setting determines the length of the Vector Line, based on the time interval setting and the target's speed. The time interval settings range from .05 minutes to 60 minutes. • Target History-is a trail showing a target's movement. Target History can be turned On or Off. • Own Vessel Safe Zone-is a circular area defined by a range setting that is centered on your own vessel. If a target enters the defined area an alarm is sounded. The Safe Zone can be set to a distance between .01 and 2 nautical miles. • Time To Safe Zone-sounds an alarm if MARPA determines that a target will intersect the Own Vessel Safe Zone within the defined time interval. The time interval settings range from 3 to 24 minutes. GMR 404/406 Owner's Manual
