Yup, I use the MOB button to set any waypoints I want exact (like a tricky
entrance to a bay). Hit it, then when you have some time, change the title, etc.
to your liking.

Hi Chuck,
Not knowing anything about GPS's, but I'm looking/shopping at the moment for
one. I noticed several with a MOB(red button) on the keypad. Would not a series
of MOB's give you a running score of waypoints? I assume they can be re-entered
or moved with a proper description? Just a thought FWIW--
