MOB (Man-Over-Board)/Mark key
Marking or saving the present position into waypoint memory is accomplished by pressing
the
MOB
key momentarily. The marked point can be renamed or edited thereafter and be
made into a regular waypoint if needed.
If an emergency man over board situation should occur, you can position a Man Over Board
mark at the vessel’s current position by pressing the
MOB
key for 3 seconds. When you
activate the MOB function the following actions are automatically performed:
• A MOB mark is positioned at the vessel’s position.
• The display switches to NAV screen showing the range and bearing going back to the MOB
point.
• The GN70/MX61x creates an active route to the MOB mark.
