Keypad & Display Description
Ø Navigation data output on the NMEA ports (i.e. BWC and
BWR), are changed to reflect the current crisis situation. This
way, other interfaced equipment can also help guide you back
to the MOB position. When the MOB condition is canceled via
a MOB screen softkey, the NMEA sentences will automatically
revert to the active route information. Don't forget to cancel
the MOB so your interfaced equipment will read the correct
data!
Ø The MOB function key and remote MOB input are disabled
from subsequent activation, until MOB Cancel is selected from
the MOB screen softkeys.
Ø Other functions such as Position and Navigate can still be
accessed; however, the screen will revert to the MOB Plot
screen after 30 seconds. Bearing and distance information in
these other screens relate to the MOB position, not the next
waypoint in the active route, until MOB is canceled.
To cancel a MOB condition, make sure you are in the MOB Plot
screen. Press the E function key, then select the Cancel MOB
softkey.
This GPS receiver is also capable of performing the MOB function
from a remote contact closure input via pins 6 and 11 on the 31 pin
connector, shared with the Mark input. If the contact closure is
made for less than 2 seconds, the input is registered as a Mark
Position. If the contact closure is made for more than 2 seconds, the
input is registered as a MOB Position. Refer to the Installation &
Service Manual for interface instructions.

Most people have no problem remembering to press the E key
when they want to edit a screen; however, it seems to take some
effort to remember to press the E key when you are finished
editing. If after editing you press a function key and nothing seems

information and press the E key to end editing. By the way, most
edit screens will provide you with an Escape softkey. If you decide
