Proximity Points
The Proximity Points tab lets you define an alarm circle around a
stored waypoint location. The alarm circle can help you avoid reefs,
rocks, or restricted areas. Up to 100 waypoints can be listed with
a maximum alarm radius of 99.99 nautical miles, statute miles, or
kilometers.
Proximity Points Tab
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.
