In Tab 14, Range to Cursor shows what?

• A. Bearing and range from the reference point
• B. Range to Cursor itself
• C. Distance only from the reference point
• D. Bearing only from the reference point

Answer: (A)

Range to Cursor provides both the direction and the distance from the reference point to where the cursor sits. In other words, it tells you the bearing (which way to go from the reference point) and the range (how far) to reach the cursor’s position. That combination is why this readout is useful: you get full relative position information, not just distance or just direction. If it were only distance, you wouldn’t know which way to go; if it were only direction, you wouldn’t know how far you need to travel. For the cursor’s location relative to the reference point, bearing plus range is the complete answer.
