Proximity Waypoint List
The Proximity list allows you to define an alarm circle around a
stored waypoint location, and can be used to help you avoid reefs,
rocks, or restricted waters. Up to 10 waypoints can be listed, with
a maximum alarm radius of 99.99 nautical or statute miles or
kilometers. If a proximity alarm circle overlaps with 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 add a proximity waypoint:
1. Use the ROCKER to highlight an empty space on the
Proximity list, and press ENTER. The Find screen appears.
Highlight Waypoints, and press ENTER.
2. To select a waypoint from the list, use the ROCKER to
highlight a waypoint from the User or Nearest tab.
To select a waypoint from the map, highlight either the
User or Nearest tab, and press MENU. With Select From
Map highlighted, press ENTER. Use the zoom In and Out
buttons and the ROCKER to highlight a waypoint.
3. Press ENTER to confirm. The distance field is now
highlighted.
4. Press ENTER to begin entry of the proximity radius.
5. Use the ROCKER to enter a distance value (to 99.99 units),
and press ENTER.
A dashed circle
appears showing
the alert boundary
for the proximity
waypoints.
