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,
Destinator
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

•
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.
You can disable the alerts for all groups by selecting the

You can disable the alerts for a particular group by selecting the group and tapping the
