Set Man Overboard (MOB) Waypoint

One of boating's most terrifying events is having a friend or family
member fall overboard. It's particularly dangerous at night or if you're
out of sight of land. Of course, the first thing to do is remain calm and
then use all standard safety procedures to rescue the person.

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 position at the time these

keys are pressed is used as the man overboard position.

Caution:

Saving a new "Man Overboard" waypoint will 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
automatically 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.
