The radar software is designed to prevent the use of 1/2 meter resolution in certain coastal areas as long as what is loaded?

• A. Radar maps
• B. Terrain maps
• C. Weather maps
• D. Security maps

Answer: (A)

The ability to use 1/2 meter resolution in coastal areas is controlled by the data package that is loaded. The radar software enforces a policy where this high level of detail is only permitted when radar maps are loaded. Loading radar maps signals that the operator has the appropriate data source and intent to view such fine detail, so the system allows it in those coastal regions. Other map types—terrain, weather, or security maps—do not provide that authorization, so they keep the resolution blocked. In short, loading radar maps unlocks the higher resolution.
