Marking a Man Overboard or Other SOS Location
You must connect a VHF radio to the chartplotter before you can use the chartplotter to initiate SOS calls.
You can use the chartplotter to mark a man overboard or SOS location and immediately begin navigating to the marked location. If you have a VHF radio connected to the chartplotter, you can also broadcast the SOS information.
- Select SOS.
- Select Man Overboard or the SOS type.
- If necessary, select Yes to navigate to the SOS location.
If you selected Yes, the chartplotter sets a direct course back to the location.
The call details are sent to the VHF radio. You must send the call using the radio.
