shows the shortest course to the MOB position.
•
Range and bearing to the MOB position are shown in the MOB data box.
To erase an MOB mark from the plotter display,
you must first erase its
corresponding waypoint. Place the cursor on the MOB mark, then press the
[CLEAR] key followed by pushing the [ENTER] knob to erase the waypoint. Then,
repeat to erase the MOB mark.
