Setting Alarms & Beeper
The eXplorist has five alarms that you can use to provide you with
audible alerts when their predefined condition is met.
Anchor Alarm
: Set a distance that the alarm will sound when
the eXplorist has moved from its location. (Example: you
have anchored your boat and want to be alerted when it has
drifted from its anchor point.)
Arrival Alarm
: Set the distance from your final destination that
the alarm will sound when traveling on a route.
Off Course Alarm
: Set the distance that the alarm will sound
when you have moved off of the calculated course that you
should be on when navigating on a route.
GPS Fix
: Turn an alarm on or off that will sound whenever the
eXplorist loses its GPS fix.
Proximity Alarm
: If using a multileg route, proximity alarm
sets when an alarm will sound as you approach the destination
of each leg in your route.
Setting the Clock
The eXplorist receives constant time information from the atomic
clock in the GPS satellites but you can set how time is displayed as
well as providing information for automatic corrections for
daylight savings.
Format
: Time can be format to be displayed in Local 24 Hrs
(military time), Local AM/PM or UTC. When selecting Local
24 Hrs or Local AM/PM, you are given the option of changing
the time.
Daylight Savings:
The eXplorist can be set to automatically
change the displayed time to reflect time changes caused by
daylight savings. You can select from United States, European
Union or Customize to set your own start and stop dates.
