Proximity Waypoint List
The ‘Proximity’ submenu of the Points tab lets you defi ne an alarm circle around a stored waypoint
position, and can be used to help you avoid reefs, rocks or restricted waters. Up to ten waypoints
may be listed, with a maximum alarm radius of 99.99 nautical miles, statute miles or kilometers. If a
proximity alarm circle overlaps with an existing alarm circle, a ‘Proximity Overlaps Another Proximity
Waypoint’ message will appear. Since the unit will only alert for one of the overlap points, use caution
when navigating in these areas. If you enter an alarm circle overlap, you will only be alerted to the
closest proximity waypoint.
