location, use the Man Overboard (MOB) function.
Note: To obtain MOB position, a valid GPS fix must be available.

nm scale (even if cartography is not available)
• Marks the current position as a temporary waypoint with an MOB
symbol which replaces any current active waypoint and route
• Displays the MOB data box, showing the bearing and range to the
MOB position, the elapsed time since the MOB was initiated and
COG data
• Sends an MOB message, including bearing and range, to other units
in the system, via NMEA
