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.
