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 scanner becomes an extension of the GPS device.

The following geographical values are typical of use you might find valuable while traveling. Use the menu (begin with Program Location) to input the necessary data to enable each.

Dangerous Xing — Stores location, speed, and direction of travel. If you are in range, traveling greater than the set speed, and moving in the selected direction, the radio sounds an alert at 0.5, 0.25, and 0.1 miles (radius of a circle) from the point. These range distances are automatic and fixed.

Dangerous Road — Stores location, direction of travel, and speed. If you are traveling at a speed greater than that specified, in the direction specified, and if you are within range of the set location, the scanner sounds an alert at 0.5, 0.25, and 0.1 miles from the point. These range distances are also automatic and fixed.

Points of Interest (POI) — Stores location and range. If you approach the set location, the radio sounds an alert up to 2 miles from the center.

Press F + [GPS] to choose a setting for Dangerous Xing, Dangerous Road, or POI.
