Man Over Board

The Man Over Board function key is located at the bottom right
hand corner of the receiver. When depressed for a few seconds, it
activates a number of automatic functions described below. You
can also active it by pressing E and selecting the Activate MOB
softkey.
Most obviously, it brings up a MOB PLOT screen. This is an
automatic scaling screen. The screen centers on half the distance
between your present position and the MOB position. In addition,
the MOB position is displayed in the upper left corner, so that you
can quickly read the coordinates to others who may be available to
render assistance. This plot screen also provides the vital bearing
and distance back to the MOB position, as well as your present
course over ground.
The MOB position, date and time are stored in the Waypoint Bank
for future reference (i.e. log book entries), beginning at WPT 1999
and filling in unlocked waypoints backwards (i.e. 1999, 1998, 1997,
etc.).
