On navigation charts, you may find a feature marked on the chart as 'Radar conspicuous'. This means that the feature will show up clearly on radar and be identified as that part on the chart.
This not so obvious as it sounds. Land shows up on ship's radars, but due to reflections, absorption of radar signals and refraction, it can not always be certain to positively identify a coastline by it's shape.
Having something that stands out, because of it's shape and radar reflection, is useful for navigation purposes.
