TracBack Navigation/
MOB: Man OverBoard
• If the track log interval is set to the ‘Time’ option, the route may not follow your exact path (keep
the interval set to ‘resolution’ for best performance).
• If the receiver is turned off or satellite coverage is lost during your trip, the TracBack will draw a
straight line between any point where coverage was lost and where it resumed.
• If your track log’s changes in distance and direction are too complex, 50 waypoints may not mark
your path accurately. The receiver then assigns the 50 waypoints to the most significant points of
your track, and simplifies segments with fewer changes in direction.
To stop TracBack navigation:
1. Press the NAV key, highlight ‘Stop Navigation’ and press ENTER/MARK.
For more information on setting up the Track options and saved tracks, see pages 59-60.
MOB
The GPSMAP 182/182C/232’s Man OverBoard function (MOB) lets you simultaneously mark and
set a course to a position for quick response to emergency situations.
To activate the MOB function:

2. Press the ENTER/MARK key to confirm and begin navigating to the MOB position.
Once a MOB has been activated, a ‘MOB’ waypoint with an international MOB symbol will be
created and the unit will be on an active navigation to that point. Use any of the Navigation Pages to
guide you back to the MOB point. The MOB waypoint will be stored in the waypoint list and may
be deleted like any other waypoint.
To stop navigation to the MOB position:
1. Press the NAV key, highlight ‘Stop Navigation’ and press ENTER/MARK.
The MOB function
