When you think of the data Displayed by the scanner it is a bit of a misnomer
unless you are doing an invasive scan.
The displayed information is is more accurately just the Mode S data
being transmitted by the other vehicle

Invasive scans are EXTREMELY short range (under half a km typically)
and use Ultrasound or Gamma Radiation. People look down on you trying to radiate them.

Saved scan location

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, the white labels have green values. The readouts update as your vehicle moves or turns:

  • 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.

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. 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.
