Markers are reference tools to make note of specific locations on the map. They don't effect the vehicle's travel or the mission and do not clear with the mission. To add a marker right-click on the screen and select Add Marker. Markers are normally green but turn blue when selected. Operators can adjust the position of markers by moving them on the map or by editing their position parameters in the Markers menu.
The marker tab contains data for all markers on the map. Clicking the box in the "Display Range/Bearing" column will display the absolute heading of the marker with respect to the vehicle's position. To get rid of markers, right-click and select "Delete", or highlight the marker you wish to remove in the Navigation Menu and click the red X in the “Delete” column.
