Which description defines True Motion mode?

• A. The own ship will move across the screen as it is actually moving
• B. The own ship stays in the center and other contacts move relative to it
• C. Contacts move randomly
• D. The radar display shows only stationary targets

Answer: (A)

True Motion mode displays targets with their actual movement and does not compensate for your own vessel’s motion. Because the radar isn’t cancelling your ship’s movement, your own ship will appear to travel across the screen according to its real speed and heading. This is different from the mode where the own ship is kept at the center and others move relative to it. In the true motion presentation, you can see how both your own course and the targets’ tracks unfold in the real world frame, which is why the description that the own ship will move across the screen as it is actually moving is the correct one.
