Proximity Points

Use the Proximity Points tab to define an alarm circle around a

stored waypoint location. The alarm circle can help you avoid reefs,

rocks, or restricted waters. Up to 100 waypoints can be listed with

a maximum alarm radius of 99.99 nautical miles, statute miles, or

kilometers.
If a proximity alarm circle overlaps an existing alarm circle, a

“Proximity Overlaps Another Proximity Waypoint” message

appears. Because the unit only alerts for one of the overlap points,

use caution when navigating in these areas. If you enter an alarm

circle overlap, you are only alerted to the closest proximity

waypoint.

To turn proximity alarms on or off:

1. Highlight the

Points tab on the Main Menu, and then select

the

Proximity sub tab.
