Alarms that you can set:
• Anchor - When you set the anchor alarm on, the eXplorist will alert you
when it has moved a distance you have selected. This could be used
when you have anchored your boat and need to be alerted if it has drifted
from it’s anchor point.
• Arrival - The arrival alarm alerts you when you have arrived to the
destination of each leg in your route or to a GOTO destination. You will
need to set the distance that you want to be alerted. (Arrival alarms also
use the speed you are traveling as a minor factor in computing when to
provide the alarm. If you have set the Arrival alarm to 250 feet and are
traveling at 30 mph, the alarm will sound slighting before the 250 foot
mark.)
• Off Course - When a route is active, the eXplorist computes when you have moved left or right of the
plotted route. You can set a distance, left or right of the plotted route, that when you exceed this
distance you will be alerted by an alarm.
• GPS Fix - The GPS fix alarm is displayed when you have lost your GPS fix for more than 20 seconds.
• Proximity Alarm - The proximity alarm is very similar to the arrival alarm except that it factors in speed
at a higher level than the arrival alarm. The proximity alarm has two alerts. First, when you are
nearing the proximity alarm distance selected and second, a visual proximity alert when you are at the
distance selected.
At the bottom of the display is a field that will display information about all alarms that have been triggered
since the eXplorist was last turned on.
Note: When an alarm is displayed, press ESC to clear the alarm from the screen.
