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
water — fresh or salt. 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.
