In the event that you have a “Man Overboard” situation, or some other situation
requiring quick, clear setting of a location so you can navigate back to it, the
“
MOB ” ( M an O ver B oard) feature is provided. Begin on the Track page.
1. Let’s say that you have an “ Man Overboard ” situation while you are track-
ing your current journey. Immediately click on the Joystick knob.
2. The “
WAYPOINT
” pop-up window will appear. Use the
Joystick
knob to
highlight “
MOB
” and click on it. Click on “
YES
” when asked if you want to
“
CONTINUE
.”
3. A new Track screen will be created. The MOB point will be shown as “S,”
and as you move away from the MOB point, both your track and a direct-
bearing line back to the MOB point will be shown; graphically, therefore,
you will always know the shortest distance to the MOB point.
4. If you are some distance away from the MOB point, use the
Joystick
knob
to navigate the cursor so it is pointing directly onto the corresponding to
the MOB point. The cursor data box will appear, showing the Bearing and
Distance to the MOB point, as well as the Latitude and Longitude of the
MOB point (so you can notify rescue personnel as to the location of the
emergency).
