Navigating in Marine Mode
Press Direct to on any page to begin navigating to a
destination. The go to point, navigate route, and navigate
track options operate the same as in Automotive Mode. Refer to the
previous section for detailed instructions on those options. In Marine
Mode, you can initiate Man OverBoard (MOB) navigation, which
places a waypoint your current location and then navigates you back
to that location.

you back to the MOB point. The MOB waypoint is stored in the
waypoint list and can be deleted like any other waypoint.
