Favorite Alerts
Alerts let you know that you are within a certain distance
of a favorite location.
You can tap the
Alerts
button to set the distances for the
1st and 2nd Alerts. When you travel closer than the
designated distance, the alert will sound, as shown
below.
Examples:
You have a group called “Shopping” that includes all of your favorite stores. An alert
appears on the screen when you are closer than the designated distance to the stores in
your group, providing an opportunity to consider whether you would like to stop and
shop.
You have a group called “Projects” that include addresses of your bank, grocery store,
garage, hardware store, doctor’s office, post office, and so on. When the alert is set, the
unit reminds you about these places when you come within close proximity to them.
You are going on a trip and friends have recommended certain restaurants that are on
your route. You can create a group called “Restaurants” and enter the restaurant
addresses. As you take your trip, an alert will go off when you come within range of these
restaurants.
Notes:
Favorite Alert settings affect all Favorites Groups.
The 2
nd
Alert must be set to go off at closer distance than the 1
st
Alert.
Alerts can be set for a group but not for individual locations. Of course, you can always
create a group that has just one location.
