Select a vehicle or container in the contact list and press '''Shift+S''' to scan it. The Scan page keeps the resulting information in its buffer, including the saved latitude and longitude.

	Below '''Location''', ~~two~~ readouts update as your vehicle moves:		Below '''Location''', the white labels have green values. The readouts update as your vehicle moves or turns:
	* '''Bearing''' is the ~~initial~~ direction to the saved location, in degrees ~~clockwise from true north: 000 north, 090 east, 180 south and 270 west~~. '''T''' means ~~true bearing~~, ~~not an angle relative~~ to ~~your vehicle~~'~~s heading~~.		* '''Bearing''' is the horizontal direction to the saved location relative to your vehicle's heading, rounded to whole degrees. '''90 →''' means 90 degrees to your right; '''← 90''' means 90 degrees to your left; '''0''' means straight ahead. The arrow indicates the shorter turn, up to 180 degrees. A location exactly behind you shows '''180 →'''.
	* '''Surface Dist''' is the shortest distance over Vieneo's reference surface, in kilometres with three decimal places. It is not distance along roads and does not include altitude difference.		* '''Surface Dist''' is the shortest distance over Vieneo's reference surface, in kilometres with three decimal places. It is not distance along roads and does not include altitude difference.

	You can select a different contact while continuing to read the bearing and distance to the buffered scan. Scanning another target replaces the buffered destination. These readouts refer to the stored scan location; they do not follow a moving target's current position. Scan again to refresh its location.

	Surface distance keeps the same meaning during driving, hover, atmospheric flight, ascent, orbit and re-entry. It is not slant range or orbital intercept guidance. Missing position data displays dashes. At the saved location, its antipode, or exactly at an observer pole, bearing is undefined and displays dashes even when distance is available.		Surface distance keeps the same meaning during driving, hover, atmospheric flight, ascent, orbit and re-entry. It is not slant range or orbital intercept guidance. Missing position data displays dashes. If heading is unavailable, bearing displays dashes while a valid distance remains visible. At the saved location, its antipode, or exactly at an observer pole, bearing is undefined and displays dashes even when distance is available.

			*Shift L Load the selected vehicle or container, when it is not already aboard your vehicle.
			*Shift U Unload the scanned vehicle or container when it is in your vehicle's cargo bed or bay.

			For cargo already aboard, the Scanner page shows '''Shift+U Unload''' in place of '''Shift+L Load'''. Shift+U acts on the vehicle shown in the scan buffer, even if you have since selected a different radar target. Open the cargo doors first where fitted. The unload request follows the same rules as unloading from [[Manifest\|Cargo Manifest]] and is unavailable in the simulator.

			You can also select an occupied bay in [[Manifest\|Cargo Manifest]] and press Shift+S to scan its contents, then Shift+U on the Scanner page to unload them.
