Proximity Waypoints

Use the Proximity sub tab to define an alarm circle around a stored waypoint. The

alarm circle can help you avoid reefs, rocks, or restricted waters. You can add

proximity alarms to a maximum of 10 waypoints or on-screen map items, with a

maximum alarm radius of 99.99 nautical or statute miles, or kilometers.
If a proximity alarm circle overlaps an existing alarm circle, the message

“Proximity Overlaps Another Proximity Waypoint” appears. Because the unit

only alerts for one of the overlap points, use caution when navigating in these

areas. If your boat enters a red proximity circle overlap, you are alerted only to

the closest proximity waypoint.
