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 — 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. 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 Plotter Page. When MOB is activated, the Navigation Page auto-
matically shows the compass rose with its bearing arrow pointing to-
ward the man overboard position, and the destination name says "Go-
ing To Man Overboard." The Plotter Page displays a Man Overboard
waypoint, represented by a human figure, and the steering arrow
points where to steer to reach that position.
