Non-Radio Location Based GPS Features

When connected to a GPS, you can program specific location information which will trigger an alert from the scanner. The following geographically based values are typical of the use you might find valuable while traveling. Use the menu to input the necessary data to enable each.

•Dangerous Xing — Stores location, and direction of travel. If you are in range, traveling in a direction that will take you to that Point, the radio sounds an alert at .5, .25, and .1 miles from the point.

•Dangerous Road — Stores location, direction of travel, and speed. If you are traveling at a speed greater than that specified and if you are within range of the set location, the scanner sounds an alert at .5, .25, and .1 miles from the point.

•Points of Interest (POI) — Stores location and range. If you approach the set location, the radio sounds an alert.

In general, an alert based on location is comprised of the following data:

•Latitude

•Longitude

•Speed (optional setting)

•Name (optional setting)

•Alert Type and Sound level (optional setting)

•Direction (optional setting)

There are four setting conditions that can be set to result in alerts:

•A speed setting greater than zero with no direction entered. This results in an alert based only on speed in any direction.

•A speed setting grater than zero with a specific direction entered. This triggers an alert when the speed is exceeded but only in the specified direction.

•Speed is equal to zero and a direction is entered along with a location. This setting is used for a dangerous intersection alert.

•Speed is set to zero and no direction is entered but only location. This is a point of interest alert.

By pressing Func + [GPS] you can next choose from a setting for Speed, Intersection, or Point of Interest.
