How do I place a man overboard marker?
In the unfortunate event that a member of crew, or an important piece of equipment
falls overboard, a man overboard (MOB) marker can be used to mark the position. If a
MOB marker is placed, RNS suspends all current navigation functions, calculates the
most direct route back to the marker, and automatically makes that the active route.
To place a MOB marker:
Any of the following actions will place a MOB marker:
• Select Waypoint/Man Overboard.
• Click the MOB icon in the standard toolbar.
• Click WAYPT on the Pathfinder panel. Click
To cancel a MOB marker:
