Proximity Waypoint List
The Proximity submenu of the Points tab lets you define an alarm
circle around a stored waypoint location, which 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 appears. Since 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.
