If someone falls out of your boat, you can hit that button. The device will mark your current location as a waypoint and immediately start pointing you back to that location. The intention behind it is if you're in moving water or open water it may be difficult to precicely figure out where that person fell out of your boat. This will help you get back to that spot quickly before they risk drowning. The Man Overboard feature is designed for marine use. If someone falls out of your boat, you can hit that button.
