How do I place a man overboard marker?
In the unfortunate event that a member of crew, or an important piece of equipment
falls overboard, a man overboard (MOB) marker can be used to mark the position. If a
MOB marker is placed, RNS suspends all current navigation functions, calculates the
most direct route back to the marker, and automatically makes that the active route.
To place a MOB marker:
Any of the following actions will place a MOB marker:
• Select
Waypoint/Man Overboard

• Click the
MOB
icon in the standard toolbar.

WAYPT
on the Pathfinder panel. Click

softkey.
To cancel a MOB marker:
1. Select
Route/Stop Follow
.
2. Right click the MOB. The right click menu is displayed.
3. Highlight and click
Delete Waypoint
.
