Example: On the screen below, the Arrival Alarm is set to sound at 1.5
nautical mile from the arrival waypoint.
For each type of alarm (with exception of the Anchor Alarm that is always
active), select the On/Off field using the
button and push Enter to select
a new status from the list. Then select the Distance or Speed field for
setting the alarm, using the
button and push Enter to type the desired
value using the alphanumeric keypad. Push Enter again to validate the
value you entered.
Arrival Alarm
The Arrival Alarm warns you of your arrival at the destination waypoint or
of the switch of active waypoint in GoTo Route mode.
See Moving Toward a Waypoint and Following a Route.
The alarm sounds when the distance remaining to be traveled becomes
less than the specified value. For example, if you define the arrival alarm
to sound at 1 mile, it starts sounding when you approach the waypoint
within one mile.
Note:
When this occurs, the GPS also automatically moves to the next
waypoint in a route. For example, if you define the arrival alarm to
sound at 1 mile, waypoint n + 1 becomes active when you
approach waypoint n within one mile. See Moving Toward a
Waypoint and Following a Route and Automatic Switch to the
Next Waypoint in a Route for detailed explanation about the
automatic switch to the next destination waypoint in the active
route.
The Arrival Alarm is automatically deactivated when the *Anchor waypoint
is active.
Anchor Alarm
The anchor alarm warns you that you have drifted from the *Anchor
waypoint (the position of the anchor). It is automatically activated when
*Anchor is the active waypoint.
See Activating the Mark function – Anchoring.
