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 accident position with the Navigation Page or Map Page. When MOB is activated, the Navigation Page automati- cally shows the compass rose with its bearing arrow pointing toward the man overboard position, and the destination name says Going To Man Overboard. The Map Page displays a Man Overboard waypoint, represented by a human figure, and the steering arrow points where to steer to reach that position.

The man overboard position is also stored in the waypoint list for future reference. It can be edited the same as any other waypoint. This pre- vents the inadvertent loss of the current Man Overboard position.

To cancel navigation to MOB, press MENUMENU↓ to CANCEL NAVIGATIONENT← to YESENT. The unit stops showing navigation infor- mation.
