From the Back Cover
Radar is the ultimate in electronic navigation aids.

This practical guide shows you how to get the best possible picture and how to interpret it. All the major techniques are explained in simple terms and illustrated with dual photos of the chart and radar screen - to help you understand their similarities and differences. Radar Afloat is the perfect introduction to this wonderful aid to navigation and safety.
Includes:
- Understanding the system.
- Interpreting the screen.
