Arrival Alarms

waypoint arrival alarm, which will activate an alarm mes-
sage once you’ve come within a set distance of a destina-
tion waypoint. Three options are available:
Off- No arrival alarm will sound.
Auto- An arrival alarm will sound one minute before
the destination—or each waypoint in a route—based
upon your current ground speed and ground track.
On- An arrival alarm will sound at the alarm distance
specified in the distance field for the destination way-
point.
