MOB Options and Settings for the quatix 6 and quatix 7

Understanding "MOB" (Man Overboard) options and settings


The Man-Overboard (MOB) function is a common feature for Marine GPS units. When the MOB button is pressed, the GPS automatically marks a waypoint at the current location and allows you to enable a "Go-To" navigation line to take you back to the initiated MOB location.

If the GPS device is connected to a Garmin® autopilot using NMEA 2000, the GPS device will present a prompt to enable the autopilot. If the autopilot is enabled, it will force the boat to perform a Williamson maneuver to return to the location of where the MOB was initiated.
