Define the locations you wish to track using their geographical coordinates. Sonar will only detect those locations that are within the given radius. Each detected location will appear as a sonar point whose position indicates the distance and direction to the location. The distance is also displayed in the list of locations to help you better adjust the detection radius. The sonar design can be adjusted as well.
