MOB: Man Over Board
This mode provides the coordinates, the distance in meters and the heading to a
GPS location recorded when the MOB button is pushed.
Note
:
The MOB mode can be entered only if enough satellites are locked,
otherwise the
NS100
will emit 5 beeps and the display will remain unchanged.
To memorize the current GPS coordinates
•
From any mode push the
button, the device enters the MOB screen
mode. The current GPS position is automatically memorized and the display
will be as follows:
MOB
DIS/COG,
upper Line (
blinking
) : Man Over Board
This line displays sequentially the distance in meters (’DIS’) and the heading
(’COG’) to track back to the memorized GPS location.
COG
, lower line : Course Over Ground
The course over ground as measured by the GPS receiver is displayed.
To display the GPS coordinates memorized
•
When the MOB screen mode is engaged, the memorized GPS coordinates
can be displayed by pushing
again. The device will display the
longitude then the latitude (lon/lat blink). Another push on
will return the
device to the MOB screen mode.
To return to the main screen mode
•
The MOB screen mode can only be exited by a long push on
. The
device will return to the main screen mode and a new GPS location for the
MOB position can be recorded afterwards; the previous MOB position is
lost.
