Raynav 300 GPS Plotter |
3.8 Man Overboard (MOB)
If a person or object is lost overboard, use the Man Overboard (MOB) function to return to the location immediately.
Note: To obtain an MOB position, you need either of the following:
•Position data from the GPS antenna.
•Heading and speed data, so that the position can be calculated by dead reckoning.
Select the type of data used for the MOB position by means of the Set Up Menus (see Chapter 4).
➤To initiate the MOB procedure, press and hold the MARK key for two seconds.
The display unit performs the following tasks automatically and the plotter screen is updated accordingly:
•Switches the range scale to 1/2 nm.
The MOB waypoint symbol replaces any current active waypoint and route.
•Displays the MOB data box, showing the bearing and distance from your vessel to the MOB waypoint position and the elapsed time since the MOB was initiated.
•As the vessel moves away from the MOB position, a dotted line is dis- played connecting the MOB position with the vessel’s current posi- tion.
