The value of the range in plot-ting will increase with the distance between the objects,and if the two are close in proportion to the distanceto the vessel the direction will be weak owing to theuncertainty in drawing a direction through close points.Artificial ranges are often erected as aids to navigation,usually to indicate the course to be followed in passingthrough a channel. Ranges afford a valuable guide inavoiding dangers, as for example an inspection of thechart may show
