Set Man Overboard (MOB) Waypoint

One of boating's most terrifying events is having a friend or family

member fall overboard. This situation can be deadly on any body of wa-

ter. 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 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.
