Alarms

This unit has several GPS alarms. The factory default setting has all
the alarms turned on. You can turn the alarms off and on and change
their distance settings.

You can set an arrival alarm to flash a warning message when you
cross a preset distance from a waypoint. For example, if you have the
arrival alarm set to 0.1 mile, then the alarm will flash a message when
you come within 0.1 mile of the recalled waypoint.

The off course alarm warns you when your track drifts too far to the
right or left of the course line to the waypoint. For example, if the
alarm is set to 0.1 mile, then the alarm flashes a message if you drift
0.1 mile or more to the right or left of the line to the waypoint.

The anchor alarm is triggered when you drift outside of a preset radius.
Again, using the 0.1 mile as an example, if you're anchored and your
boat moves more than 0.1 mile, the alarm will flash a message.

You can only adjust alarm distance settings or turn alarms off or on in
Advanced Mode. (Switch from Easy to Advanced:
