Weather radar.

The offshore fit in the S92 is a Honeywell Primus system which includes 2 ground mapping modes, generally used for ARA type approaches. Generally no faffing with tilt during an approach, it's done automatically.
The SAR fit also has a moving map type display from what I've seen in photographs.
I fly offshore in crew change so not sure what modes they would have been using, but find it hard to believe they didn't know where they were with the kit fitted.
