Garmin GPS 45 - Manual (Page 34)

The GPS 45’s man overboard function (MOB)
lets you simultaneously mark and set a course to a
position for quick response in emergency situa-
tions. To activate the MOB mode:
1. Press the G key twice.
2. The Navigation Page will appear with the default
GOTO waypoint ‘MOB’ as the destination.
3. Press the E key to confirm the MOB entry.
The Navigation Page will now guide you to the
MOB waypoint position.
The graphic ‘highway’ provides visual steering
guidance to the MOB waypoint. The moving arrow
just below the course deviation scale always points
to your selected waypoint relative to the direction
you are moving.
Your present position is represented by the dia-
mond in the center of the course deviation scale.
The line down the middle of the highway is your
desired track. As you head toward a waypoint, the
highway will move indicating the direction and
distance you are off course, relative to the position
diamond on the CDI scale. To keep your vessel on
course, steer toward the center of the highway.
If you want to save the MOB waypoint, be sure
to rename it, as it will be overwritten the next time
a MOB is executed.

As you approach a way-
point, a horizontal ‘finish

bottom of the highway.
When the finish line
reaches the course devia-
tion scale, you’ve arrived
at your destination.
