you select the MOB position as destination;
A full-screen radar, plotter or overlay appears depending on the display in
use.
The MOB mark "MOB" appears at the MOB position and a light-blue line
runs between it and current position. This line shows the shortest course to
the MOB position.

To erase an MOB mark from the plotter display, you must first erase its
corresponding waypoint. Place the cursor on the MOB mark, then press the
[CLEAR] key followed by pushing the [ENTER] knob to erase the waypoint. Then,
