Heading South
Car Two
Car One is driving south. Car Two is driving east. Car One is alerted since the Latitude and Longitude of the Dangerous Road is programmed as well as the Range and the Direction. When all three data sets are met, the alert sounds. Since Car Two is going east, no alert sounds as the Direction is not
met. Programmed Settings
41° 17’ 58.64” N
74°11’ 10.30” W
Car One
Set Heading F You can input the compass direction to the site from your present location or, you can select All Range which ignores your specific heading.
For example: If the Dangerous Road location is toward the Northeast and you are driving in that direction, then choose NE (45°)
If you know you will be driving on a road which has many curves to that site center, choose All Range which will trigger the alert regardless of direction as long as the other requirements (range, speed) are met.
If you travel in a Northeast direction and do not travel either side of a northeast line by up to 22 degrees, the alert system will function.
Set Speed Limit F Choose from 0, through 100 MPH in 5 MPH steps or the equivalent in KPH for metric usage. If you set it to 0 MPH, the alert beeps every time the scanner exceeds the range.
