9. Using the Man Overboard (MOB) and
the Mark Functions
The Man Overboard (MOB) function allows you to instantaneously mark a
position in an emergency situation (such as a person falling overboard),
and guides you back to that position as quickly as possible.
The Mark function allows you to save special waypoints (Marks) or
passage points as well as your anchoring position.
The Man Overboard and Mark functions can be activated with the
Mark/MOB button on your device (red button).
The activation mode for these two functions can be selected in the Setup
menu.
Choose the MOB only mode or the Mark and MOB
mode.
