GPS Operation Overview

Your GPS system provides more than just your specific location. The
MOB (Man Overboard) menu lets you immediately save your current
position so rescuers can converge on the exact man overboard location.
The Favorites menus let you create a directory of favorite places
and their coordinates so you can easily return there. Using the GPS
Setup menus, you can determine power-saving options, measurement
increments, and time settings.
The radio is factory-preset to search for your geographic location when it
is turned on for the first time.
MOB Menu
The MOB menu lets you quickly save your current selection so you
can easily navigate back to it. It will be saved in the first position of the
Favorites list.
Favorite Menu
The Favorite menu is comprised of the Goto menu and the Add menu.
The Goto menu adds (saves) the current GPS position as well as recalls
that position and others you have saved to sail back to it.
Goto Menu
The Goto menu allows you to select from a list of saved coordinates or to
input coordinates manually.
To input coordinates

displays Go and Save.
3. Select Go to display the coordinates and the compass bearing and
begin traveling towards that destination.
4. Select Save to save the location into a Favorites directory. When you
select Save, the screen prompts you to name these coordinates.
5. When you have entered a name for the saved coordinates, they will
appear on the Goto screen as a selection.
