The ‘ALARMS’ file tab provides the following settings:
• APPROACH ALARM—provides an alarm message within a set time or distance from the first
waypoint in the approach portion of the active route. This message is only provided if you use
the ‘Select Approach’ option, as described on page 71. As you near the first approach waypoint,
an ‘Approach Waypoint Ahead’ message will appear.
• ARRIVAL ALARM—provides an alarm message within a set time or distance from your destina-
tion waypoint. As you approach the destination waypoint, an ‘Arrival at _____’ message occurs.
• COURSE DEVIATION ALARM—provides a message when you deviate off course beyond the
specified distance.
• CLOCK ALARM—uses the internal clock to provide an ‘Alarm Clock’ message at the time you
specify. The GPSMAP 295 must be on when the alarm time is reached for the message to occur.
