Proximity Waypoint List
The second waypoint submenu list available from the ‘Points’ tab is the ‘Proximity’ list, which lets
you define an alarm circle around a stored waypoint position, and can be used to help you avoid reefs,
rocks or restricted waters. Up to ten waypoints may be listed, with a maximum alarm radius of 99.99
nautical or statute miles or kilometers. If a proximity alarm circle overlaps with an existing alarm circle,
a ‘Proximity Overlaps Another Proximity Waypoint’ message will appear. Since the unit will only alert
for one of the overlap points, use caution when navigating in these areas. If you enter an alarm circle
overlap, you will only be alerted to the closest proximity waypoint.
To add a proximity waypoint:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight an empty space on the Proximity list and press
ENTER/MARK. The ‘Find’ screen appears. Highlight ‘Waypoints’ and press ENTER/MARK.
2. To select a waypoint from the lists, use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the desired waypoint
from the ‘User’ or ‘Nearest’ tab lists.
To select a waypoint from the map, highlight either the ‘User’ or ‘Nearest’ tab and press MENU.
With ‘Select From Map’ highlighted, press ENTER/MARK. Use the zoom IN and OUT buttons and
the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight a waypoint.

ENTER/MARK.
2. Select the desired ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ setting and press ENTER/MARK.
You can also search for a waypoint by name:

2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to select the first letter of
the name.
3. Move to the RIGHT and enter the second letter if you do
