Radar/Plotter Bearing Mode

RE: Radar/Plotter Bearing Mode
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Ian,

Relative bearings are only reported within the VRM/EBL and Tracked Targets List (MARPA & AIS) of the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs. As indicated within the FAQ found here, MARPA features require that the system be interfaced to a stabilized source of Heading data. The VRM/EBL feature does not require that the system be interfaced to a source of heading data and will always report relative bearings. All other bearing are reported within these MFDs in either True or Magnetic based upon the Bearing Mode configuration setting. As the VRM/EBL's primary feature is to report relative range and bearing to a target on the Radar application's screen and is enacted by touching the radar image of the object on Radar applications screen, the value of having the MFD additionally display relative range and bearing of the EBL within a Databox within the Radar application is unclear.

If I have missed the point of your thread, then please expand upon or clarify your initial thread relative to the points raised within this response.

Thanks
