Set Man Overboard (MOB) Waypoint
One of boating's most terrifying events is having a friend or family
member fall overboard. This unit has a man overboard feature that
shows navigation data to the location where the feature was activated.
To activate it, press the
ZOUT and ZIN keys at the same time. Your posi-
tion at the time these keys are pressed is used as the man overboard
position.
Caution:
Saving a new Man Overboard waypoint will overwrite and erase
the previous Man Overboard waypoint.
Navigate Back to MOB Waypoint
Find your way back to the position with the Navigation Page or Map
Page. When MOB is activated, the Navigation Page automatically
shows the compass rose with its bearing arrow pointing toward the
man overboard position. The destination name says Going To Man
Overboard and the Map Page displays a Man Overboard waypoint, rep-
resented by a human figure. The steering arrow will guide you to that
position. The man overboard position is stored in the waypoint table for
future reference. It can be edited the same as any other waypoint in
Advanced Mode. This prevents the inadvertent loss of the current Man
Overboard position.
Tip:
You don't need to have an emergency to use the MOB waypoint. In
Easy Mode, it is the only way you can set a waypoint other than the
Home waypoint. When you set the MOB point, cancel navigation
and use it like a regular waypoint. (Remember, you can set 1,000
waypoints in Advanced Mode.)
