2. Push the [ENTER] knob to select the MOB position as the destination, or
press the [CLEAR] key to only mark current ship’s position as a waypoint. If
you select the MOB position as destination;
• A full-screen radar, plotter or overlay appears depending on the display in
use.
• The MOB mark “MOB” appears at the MOB position and a light-blue line
runs between it and current position. This line shows the shortest course to
the MOB position.
• Range and bearing to the MOB position are shown in the MOB data box.
To erase an MOB mark from the plotter display, you must first erase its
corresponding waypoint. Place the cursor on the MOB mark, then press the
[CLEAR] key followed by pushing the [ENTER] knob to erase the waypoint. Then,
repeat to erase the MOB mark.
