Share Man Overboard (MOB) Navigation
As soon as you know that you have a man overboard (MOB), you should activate MOB navigation to maximize the chances for a successful rescue. MOB navigation allows you to create an MOB waypoint to locate the point at which your man went overboard and the relation of the boat to that point.
When Share Navigation Data is turned on, the Man Overboard (MOB) navigation will also be shared between control heads. If MOB navigation is started on one control head, the MOB navigation data will also be displayed on the other control head.
Start Man Overboard (MOB) Shared Navigation
1.Preparation: Turn on the Share Navigation Data menu option on each control head. See Share Navigation Data for more information.
2.Activate MOB Navigation: Press and hold the GOTO key for more than 1.5 seconds to activate the Man Overboard (MOB) function.
When MOB is activated, a MOB waypoint is created at the boat's current position, regardless of whether the chart cursor is active or not. The MOB waypoint has a large, distinctive icon. Once MOB is activated, any current navigation will be cancelled and the current route will be discarded without notification. MOB navigation will begin immediately, and the MOB View will show the following:
•The view will switch to the Chart View, and the elapsed time since MOB was activated will be displayed.
•A line will be drawn from the boat's current position to the MOB waypoint, and the MOB waypoint will be targeted.
•The latitude/longitude position of the MOB waypoint will be displayed in an additional information box.
