What does the center of the radar screen represent?

The center of the radar screen represents the position of your boat. This central point is crucial for navigation and monitoring your surroundings, allowing you to see the relative positions of other objects around your vessel. By using this reference point, you can assess the distance and bearing to other targets, ensuring you maintain safe navigation and avoid collisions. Understanding that your boat's position is indicated at the center of the radar display helps crew members effectively interpret the information presented, making informed decisions based on the radar data.
