To mark an MOB (Man Overboard) location:

When you mark a waypoint, you can designate it as an MOB (Man Overboard). This marks the point and sets a course back to the marked location. When an MOB is active, an MOB waypoint with an international MOB symbol is created, and the unit is on an active navigation to that point.

1.At any time, press the MARK key (GPSMAP 4000 series) or touch Mark (GPSMAP 5000 series).
