Man Overboard (MOB) functionality
On some navigation aids a Man Overboard function exists to aid rescue
of personnel. When a MOB button is activated, the position of the boat at
that time is stored and sent to the autopilot as a new waypoint. The
autopilot can acquire this waypoint via a waypoint advance alarm and
automatically track to the MOB location.
Skipping a waypoint – SeaTalk navigators only
WARNING:
Skipping a waypoint will take you straight to the next waypoint.
Check your navigation before making the turn.
If you want to advance to the next waypoint before you have arrived at
the target waypoint, you can skip a waypoint by pressing
TRACK for
1 second. The display will then show the Waypoint Advance screen for
the next waypoint. Check it is safe to turn, then press
TRACK to turn the
boat towards the next waypoint.
