How do you disabled the compass? (Which menu?)

Disable Compass: Setup > Heading > Compass Mode > Off

I only see "Log Geocache" and "Geocache filter". This are translated --> ok

But: What I miss is a menu entry "Geocache Description / hint". this would for me more important than "Geocache filter" (when you are navigating to a geocache you do not need longer the filter.

What is meant with "... issues with MOB key" ? Can I assign the MOB-function to a key?

No, but pressing and holding (Find) results in a MOB marked and begins navigation to the waypoint.

MOB is already designed to a key per default - HOLD FIND-key for a longer time

(Typically, an application formarking a location on water where you cannot stopquickly and must return to a point where there are nolandmarks for reference.)
To create a waypoint using the MOBfeature:
1. Press and hold the FIND key.
2. Press ENTER to open the Map Page showingthe path from your current location to the MOBpoint.
Use the Compass Page for additionalguidance to the MOB point
