If you watched the above video I linked then you learned that Garmin is considered one of the easier systems to use.
I will now link you to a Garmin presentation Jeff did not too long ago. There are three companies with radar target acquisition and prediction, setting the target in a red colour if there is a possible collision course. Garmin is one of those companies, Furuno is another and don't hold me to this, but I think Raymarine is the other.
I wanted a radar that was easy to understand for a boat virgin. So with my Garmin I can sit a newbie down and tell them to look ahead for boats and things floating in the water while on AP and with the radar tracking targets, tell them to let me know when they see a red target. I use this radar more to let me know what is behind me rather than what is in front of me.
