Divider Tool

The Divider Tool can be used to display range and bearing in between two points or in between your own position and multiple points:

Bearing and distance between two points

To display the bearing and distance between two points, select the divider tool and move the cursor on the first location, click a first time to drop the first point on the chart, move the mouse over the second location and click a second time to drop the second point. A label with the range and bearing in between the two points will appear (near the second point):

Note: After dropping the first point, it is possible to move the chart by clicking and dragging on the screen. You can also zoom in/out using the scroll wheel or keyboard shortcut. Please refer to the Scrolling & Zooming chapter.

Multiple Bearing and distance from own ship position

Select the divider tool and double click on the chart. This will create a divider line between the location where you double clicked and own ship position.

You can create multiple divider lines by repeating this action (select divider tool again and then double click on other locations):

Note: The divider lines from own ship will update as the boat is moving

Bearing and distance between two targets or a target and a point

The Divider tool can also be "attached" to targets (AIS or ARPA targets) by selecting (left click) the target with the tool. The range and bearing will automatically update on screen as the target move. You can click on a target and a fix point on the chart, or you can click in between two targets to get up to date real time bearing and distance information.

Note: If a target is lost or if you restart the software, the divider line(s) that were using a target as reference point will be erased.

Editing and Deleting Divider line

Divider lines can be moved by clicking and dragging the point to a new position

You can right click on a Divider line to delete it or delete all Divider lines.

Tips: If you double click on the Divider tool, it will erase all Divider lines on screen
