magellan gps 315

What is the MOB feature used for on a Magellan 315 GPS?

I know it means man over board, but what is its intended purpose?

The Man Overboard feature is designed for marine use. 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.

GPSCity.com takes a closer look at the RAM Mount Custom Cradle for the Magellan GPS 310, GPS 315, GPS 320, GPSMAP 330, GPSMAP 330M an 12 Blazer ...

I need it for aviation, but haven't been able to find a place where I can buy it online.

Which of these GPS units if any are the best for Geocaching?
1. Garmin III Plus GPS
2. Magellan 315 GPS

It looks like you probably could, but the question is why? Unless you already own one or both of these units, there are much better options available. The Magellan 315 is a 10 year old design, and there have been major improvements in receiver sensitivity and accuracy since then. The Garmin III is better suited to use in an automobile, but on the other hand I seem to remember someone years ago using one for caching, so if my memory's correct it can be done. Again though you are dealing with an obsolete GPS with more modern options available. The current GPS of choice for serious cachers remains the Garmin 60CSx, although the Oregon units are making inroads. Also, DeLorme has a new unit, the PN-40, which shows promise, but I can't recommend it yet - it seems a work in progress.

will I be able to get lat/long and tracks like with my magellan 315 without the software of Pakistan

yes. I am currently in germany and i wasn't bothered to download the maps. i also have a garmin and it works perfectly. the only prob is that you cannot navigate through the roads. but otherwise it is great.
