THE ADLARD COLES BOOK OF RADAR

Radars used on board marine vessels are commonly quite tricky to operate and they are also not that simple to read correctly for avoidance of the ship collisions. However, when they are used by the informed operators they become an invaluably useful navigation tool, and that is particularly applicable to the poor visibility situations.

Of course, GPS devices can tell your position, but none of them will inform you about the other vessels in the vicinity. The author of the present book has applied practical approach so there is no too much of theory. That is why the publication will serve as an excellent complement to the standard owner's manual for the radar.

The operators will find all information they do require to possess when they are faced with the real situations at sea. The content of the book is packed with numerous illustrative and informative images, charts and screen shots - they provide the guidance from a real life perspective, enabling readers to solve all possible problems effectively and immediately.

The diagrams contained in the book are quite clear. The volume is great to read while operating the radar, giving reader step by step instructions and guidance from the very beginning, i.e. setup, to actual navigation. An excellent tool to be used for solving problems and a perfect one for learning.
