Proximity Points
Use the Proximity sub tab to define an alarm circle around a stored
waypoint location. The alarm circle can help you avoid reefs,
rocks, or restricted waters. Up to 100 waypoints can be listed with
a maximum alarm radius of 99.99 nautical miles, statute miles, or
kilometers.
If a proximity alarm circle overlaps an existing alarm circle, a
“Proximity Overlaps Another Proximity Waypoint” message
appears. Because the unit only alerts for one of the overlap points,
use caution when navigating in these areas. You are only alerted
to the closest proximity waypoint when you enter an alarm circle
overlap.
